Yet, another post on animals!

Anyone who has followed me for more than a few posts... knows that besides blogging about tech tips on how to be a better blogger, I'm a sucker for all sorts of furry and feathered critters.

As I was driving a few weeks ago, I saw a beautiful peacock and forwarded a picture of him to my dear friend @fukako via Discord.

And, it just occurred to me that I had a bloggable moment, so here goes...

Peacocks live wild in certain pockets of town. Not too long ago, my husband and I were driving down a heavily traveled street and had to hit the brakes to allow one of these beautiful birds to pass. So, when I saw another one, I drove to take a closer look, and it struck me how resilient wildlife can be.

This particular neighborhood was flooded during Hurricane Harvey with 5 feet of water inside of the homes for 14 days. The flooding happened in August 2017... 9 months ago! Many of the homes are still uninhabitable... still under renovation and repair.

The people may have moved out, the yards are overgrown, yet the majestic birds thrive. Yes, the people will return and at that time, the birds will once again happily cohabitate with people again, but for now, the birds have the run of this particular neighborhood.

They're everywhere

In the video, you'll see how in just this one street, I saw two peacocks. I sped up the video for all you impatient folks! 🤣
