How fun is that?
I get to take photos and then bore you with my knack for verbose storytelling.
wait, where are you going?
Driving down one of my narrow little country roads, I decided to capture forever something I see regularly.
Sometimes these birds are so numerous and so loud, you have to look over your shoulder and see if Alfred's lurking close by.
Ever see The Birds with Tippi Hedron?Well I did, several times along with Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, Night Gallery and the Twilight Zone. What WAS my mother thinking?
Every afternoon, I'd lay on the sofa next to her for a nap and drift off to sleep by the gentle soothing sound of... Dark Shadows.
Wow, no wonder I'm weird.
Seeing all of these birds makes me think of that movie no small child should watch,
but it also takes me to a time when it was just me and my mom.
Afternoons were ours and she didn't waste them away cleaning toilets or
making sure faucets shined.
I could learn a thing or two from her.

Yes, nice, you and your mom on the couch. Yesterday afternoon I was sick and laid on the couch and put Little Bear in for (me) my kids. I was remembering how when they were little and nights were sleepless some afternoons were spent like that. My son cuddled up with me and my daughter bounced on my legs. Absolute perfection.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of birds are those? Crows?
What a wonderful tradition! I love all those movies, and Dark Shadows was my favorite! I mean, how handsome was Quinton????
ReplyDeleteBoring? NO WAY.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a lovely memory captivated by of all things ... birds. And the photos truly only add to it. Wow. I'm so glad you played PSF, this was another awesome post!
I love seeing the birds like that I think it's cool!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't see flocks without thinking of that movie either.
ReplyDeleteWatched it too. When I was a little. Yeah, what was my father thinking? Anyway, cool pic. It does remind me of the movie. Eek! Eek! Eek!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... what's a shiny faucet?
ReplyDeleteLOL
We get this huge flock of crows in out neighbors pine and it is so loud sometimes. I always think of The Birds when ever they are hanging out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind thoughts on my blog today. What a fun surprise!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I've never been to England...Someday...
I must say, I loved being greeted by the KK P&P music on your blog, and Miss Sniz does make the best scrapbook pages! Nice to meet you!
That movie freaks me out. I cannot watch it any more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat picture!
ReplyDeleteyou know what's weird? I see that SAME sight (same birds,different background)almost every day around here too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not making that up.
Just look at my husband's flikr site. Seriously. Same picture.
Yep, I watched all those shows, only my mom was in the other room sewing - not knowing!
ReplyDeleteI come from an Air Force family, my parents were stationed in England for about a year or so, then came back to the states and had me. I missed all the fun...
Thanks for stopping by today! See you soon.
HA! That is funny. I did see those movies. And way too many more at such a young age. My mom was nuts. I even saw Children of the Corn when I was about 6. Nice.
