1. Now you're going all Hitchcock on

us. Reminds me of the birds and the bit of blur on the trees only makes it more so. I love it even if it did take me a long time to get over my fear of birds flying around me after that movie.

2. Somebody say The Birds?

7. I wonder, does that school have four rooms?

Many old homes had the central stairs and four rooms. It reminded me of some of the old farmhouses.

8. Been a while since I was there

and you couldn't go upstairs, but I think it had more than four rooms. More like four on each floor.

10. So it probably has four upstairs.

3. The lighting was really marginal for my P&S. I'm glad it

came out as well as it did.


This image is the gold standard of that type of image. It is also the cover art for Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky." Great album BTW.

5. I can HEAR them

They sound like this.........blackbirds are really something when they get going. I hear them every time I see a photo of a flock of them.

6. Starlings are related to the Myna bird.

They are a very good mimic. Mozart had a pet Starling. He even wrote a piece about it.

9. Wow, that's a good shot. Was it B & W or just no color in the sky that day? nt

[alfredo]

11. Thanks. Black and white. There was a bit of blue in the sky, but

it didn't add anything to the story.

12. Spooky!

Wonder what got them all riled up?

[alfredo]

13. They were coming to roost for the night. Right after that

picture a homeowner fired some shots in the air, or set off a device that made a loud banging noise.
