We who heart peacocks

We Who ♥ Peacocks is a group effort of hopefully obvious aspiration. We hope you can find some beauty here. We try to credit for each image we post, but sometimes things fall through the cracks; if you see an image of yours here which is either incorrectly credited or floating about with no credit at all, please contact us.
If you want to spread the word, a little recommendation goes a long way.
We also accept submissions here.
