Description

I gotta fly, my friends! I'm off to the airport to catch a plane to go see Jilly, and I'll be back Sunday evening. I'll try to check in while I'm gone, but if you don't see me, don't worry! :) The big bird in the middle is a blue heron. Just below him is a seagull. The rest are all ducks. There's a beach in Edmonds that's a bird sanctuary, and one day when I was down there I got lucky and one of the herons was feeding in the shallows. I wasn't happy with the squared-off composition formed by these birds, but they apparently weren't actors guild members, and didn't seem to care how I wanted them spaced! Go figure. And I don't know why all those ducks are lined up in the background, but there were a bunch of 'em out there the whole time I was around. Have a nice weekend all, and I'll see you when I get back!
