The Birds

I didn't realize when we went shopping for a vacuum cleaner that we were being cast as unwitting extras in an old Alfred Hitchcock movie:

Josie,
~~At one point they all flew up at once and just filled the air, but I had just put my camera back in my purse. THAT would have made a creepy picture.

Hey...! I just noticed your the picture of English Bay on your sidebar. You will love English Bay. And there is an absolutely fabulous pub about ten steps away from that picture. Literally. Ten paces.

~~This trip just keeps getting better! Don't walk in front of any more moving cars.
