Weathervane Surprise

Late this afternoon, while waiting for D,
I was gazing across the river and the fireman
weathervane on the old firehouse caught
my eye.

I had taken photos of it at the
beginning of the month when I was on
the other side of the river and the moon was out.

I zoomed in and took some photos.
It looked a little strange in my tiny viewfinder.
Wasn't til I was home and looking at the
larger image on my computer that I realized
what I captured through the lens.




Blackbirds were perched on it, even
on the fireman's helmet which caught
the setting sun.
I was thrilled and am going to do a
drawing of this magical moment!
