Great photos for this photo challenge! The pigeons in between the parking lot lines made me chuckle. I’ll have to show that one to my brother-in-law who is a ‘pigeon fancier’ (someone who raises homing pigeons and races them).
I didn’t know there are still people who do that. My dad raised pigeons. We have a flock that visits our backyard regularly. The lighting wasn’t good in this photo, and I loaded it before trying to edit. These are actually sea gulls.
Whoops! I didn’t look closely enough at those birds or I would have seen they were sea gulls. My mind just automatically went to pigeons….well, you can see why. 😉
Aren’t they silly, Pix? I snapped the picture, but didn’t notice at the time they were separated into boxes. It’s interesting to see what I missed at first glance. These challenges make us look at our pictures through different eyes.
Looking forward to enjoying your blog like I do Dianna’s She and I were elementary school mates in Surry, VA. Thank you for letting me enjoy yours now.
My husband (Chuck) and I live in Virginia Beach, VA. We have been here for about 30 years now. It’s about a hour and half from Surry. I went to high school in Smithfield, VA. My father’s family is from Surry and my mother’s family is from Smithfield.

Thanks, Maxi. I’d like to take that path again, but I want a better camera next time. Very few of my bird photos were worth keeping.
