| No water that I saw |
This past weekend my hubby and I decided to drive to Washington
D.C. to take in a museum and enjoy the nice weather. This time we chose to take our car and our chances with
parking instead of taking the metro as usual. And since it was such a nice day on Sunday we stopped and
got some sandwiches, drinks and chips for a lunch in the park.

Now, I know that a lot of people don’t like you to feed the wild
birds, but I love animals and when those itty bitty little eyes look at me and
my sandwich, well, I just can’t resist. And besides I wasn’t the first, because they knew just how to
beg for the best result. I must
admit that the sparrows, pigeons, starlings, squirrels and ducks in the nation’s
capital our very well behaved.
There is no pushing or shoving and they all patiently sat there waiting
their turns. There was none of the
stealing and squawking the seagulls on the boardwalks are known to do…. they
were sweet.

And while I was sitting there with my husband just shaking
his head and not sharing at all I felt, well, just like Snow White without the singing. And seriously, I really didn't need the carbs!

How nice to see such a variety of wild life in Washington! Thanks for sharing the lovely photos! Valerie
ReplyDeleteLovely day out!
ReplyDeleteI felt like Snow white last week too, and our pigeon was quite similar to the one in your picture. :) Distant cousins, maybe.
Here´s the pic of ours:

what a lovely day you had!
ReplyDeleteI love birds of a different feather! Looks like you enjoyed the day.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and I'm not the least bit surprised to hear you shared your lunch with the local wild life. :o}
ReplyDeleteThis is so precious Crystal! I would have been feeding them all too ;o) Have a great weekend ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute pigeon (if pigeons can be cute...)! You are too sweet, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to resist feeding them too! We were in San Francisco recently and I was surprised by how there were more pigeons than gulls!
ReplyDeleteHeh - I love that you went to Washington DC and took pics of the pigeons and not the buildings! Am grinning at my monitor. Great pics, too, of course!
