During a recent drive to the lake, we found this "Peacock Crossing" sign near a peacock sanctuary. Then, just ahead on the side of the road, there was an armadillo (we call them "speed bumps"!) You never know what you'll find in our area!

What great captures Brenda. The armadillo is so well shot! danrav · 2011-05-11: 20:23

Great captures! I didn't know you had armadilloes in your area. They are so ugly, that they are cute! darfoster · 2011-05-11: 20:26

So cool, so great to see an armadillo! Peacocks are so cool, my neighbour used to have some and they would wander across the road quite often.. he could have used a sign like that :) McMommy · 2011-05-11: 20:38

That was great !! Never seen a "Peacock Crossing" sign before,most the armadillo I've ever seen have been a little brown ball along the side the road or a "spot" !! catdad · 2011-05-15: 16:40

I love that you call armadillos 'speed bumps'! I've never seen a sign warning of peacocks crossing before! busybee36 · 2011-05-20: 01:18
