Republic Day Special (Pavo cristatus)

Today, we in India celebrate our 66th Republic Day. So, my greetings and best wishes to one and all. We have the President of the United States witnessing the spectacular RD Parade at New Delhi as I upload this(unfortunately in pouring rain on a cold morning), as Chief Guest.

Here are a pair of our exotic national bird, the Indian Peacock. Hope you all like it.
