As soon as I took this picture, I knew that Tennessee Williams would find it mildly amusing. What's your take on these rows of birds on a beachside rooftop? Have at it...
(And, yes, this photo continues this week's "rows" Thematic Photographic theme. Click here to avoid missing out.)

That photo of reminds me of the song we used to sing at camp..."Here we sit like birds in the wilderness...waiting to be fed."
ReplyDeleteAlthough, those birds don't look like they're in the wilderness.
Reminds me of.... "Waiting on the Worm"
ReplyDeletebut I don't think there are any worms on a beach. LOL
Wow Carmi, thanks for the top nod!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I think those birds are trying to send out a message in their own bird-type Braille.

Climbing the bird ladder of success.

I just wanted to congratulate you on being on Blogger since September of 2003. I didn't even know that this website existed then.
ReplyDeleteI want to be a journalist when I get older, so I was immediately attracted to this page.
What kind of journalism are you in? How did you get there?

ReplyDeleteThis photo reminds me of the checkout lines at a super Wal-mart, so here's my caption:
ReplyDelete"Welcome to Wal-Mart. There's no waiting at checkout 16."
Thanks for the mention!
ReplyDeletePS, I'm not so sure your blogroll is 'new and improved' since I can't find me listed. Either that or I'm just blind and I can't see it. :)
