Then I’ll have viewings of it at the church!

Add potluck meal, some discussion afterward, maybe a talk from a local ornithologist… voila, instant activity!

Ok, ok, scratch the ornithologist.

And limit the discussion to feelings, not the meaning of the subtext and how particular shots could have been redone with a different camera lens.

Hmmmmm…

I loved this movie and it brought a new awareness of and true love for all the birds around me. I toured Alcatraz recently and some of the pictures were of the various birds on the island! I rode a ferry and most of the movies are not of my siblings and in-laws, but of the birds riding the breeze behind us, sometimes just a few feet away from me and my camera.

And to get back on topic, I also find joy now in walking across Philly’s bridges and along the river, just to catch glimpses of the seagulls and pigeons in flight, or doing what ever else they deign to do as I watch.
