Yup
I'm still out there in the morning feeding the pigeons. There is just a small gathering. I think the winter survivors plus newcomers "Jlo", "Hung Cow" (white tail) and "Nord Cow" (White mustache).
I DID find "Whitey" but not with the Salisbury beach crowd.
I've seen him numerous times up by the Rte 286 Seabrook overpass. He is easy to spot since he such a brillant white. There is a breakfast restaurant near the overpass so I am guessing there are lots of left over pancakes and toast near by to feast on.
Maybe he got sick of pizza.
Here is a funny story. I wanted to see if there was a patron Saint for pigeons. I "googled" it and guess what?
MY BLOG showed up!
Does that make me the patron saint of pigeons now?
:-)
I found this lovely painting (above) online as well. It's nice to see somebody else out there appreciates their subtle common beauty.
That's an amazing painting, V. I wonder if the image on the bottom row, second from the right, is representing the entanglement those plastic rings for beer cause.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought it was one of yours because of the aura around some of the birds' heads.
Whoever made that painting and you are certainly connected spiritually, don't you think?
Yes, I did think the painting look like something I would do. Matter-of-fact, before I even saw these paintings I started an icon pigeon sketch in preparation of an icon.
ReplyDeleteSome of my fellow icon painters did "kitty saints" of their pet cats.
I must say, the artist is brillant :-0
I say...if you googled it, then it is so. You ARE the patron saint of pigeons.
