Rainy Day Hawk and Pigeons

 
 



 









Stopped at Denny's for snack on way home from the Laundromat--salad and potato soup--and sighted Hawk on the Light Pole--light on...blurry pic with iphone...Pigeons too on the Arco AmPm sign acorss the street...second rainy day in a row!!!...Denny's Pigeons always about, and of late it seems, Hawk too--have pic, Hawk on the Freeway Sign at sunset...for sometime...Fellow next to me folding clothes at the Laundromat was on his cell phone going on about pitbulls...curious, as I'm trying to adopt a dog, I asked what was up...seems he was at Motel Six and another guest had pit bull...he was giving headsup to motel manager...seems pitbulls are out-lawed in England, and several states..."It's the thug culture, thug tattoos, thug clothes, thug music...thug dogs"...bit over the top, I thought, but smiled in sympathy!...
