So, the work day was done, the weather was lovely, and I was walking home to take a nap. A couple of blocks away from school I saw a bird sitting on a branch – it was a fairly large bird, but it had a cloud of fuzz on it’s head. (‘Bird’s head is so fuzzy, they call him Peach.’ Wait. We’re not supposed to make bird jokes.) Anyway, it was obviously a baby bird that just got kicked out of the nest, because it didn’t try to fly away from me. I decided that this would make a nice enough post, and went to get my camera out of my bag…..
Drat. No camera.
Back to work. Got the camera. Back to the bird, who still hadn’t moved but was now making some pitiful cries. Took the picture. Walked home. Napped.
End of story. Not very good, but they can’t all be winners.
