I can't help it! The world is just so beautiful. I have to take pictures of it so I can shar it with all of you.
I went out to today because I was promised an airshow at 12:30. OK. That sounded fun. I waited and waited and then...
A single airplane did a few tricks... loop to loops, colored smoke, the whole gamut. And that was it. Ten minutes of what had to be the WORST airshow ever. A man sat beside me on the park bench.
Park Bench Man: Is that all there is to an airshow?
Me: I thought there would be more.
PBM: Apparently, not.
Me: I feel cheated. I feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I expected much much more than a single red airplane and a bit of colored smoke.
PBM: It didn't cost anything to watch, so you did get your money's worth.
Me: It cost nothing, so I got nothing?
PBM: Something like that.
Me: Look, there are a bunch of pelicans flying in formation.
PBM: They are really pretty.
ME: Better than the air show.
PBM: Maybe that was the airshow.
ME: I agree. A perfect airshow!
Fortunately, the day was gorgeous.

But I agree, Karen: a bunch of pelicans flying in formation is much better.
I love that birds. They looks a bit prideful but also a bit funny.
I wish you a wonderful sunday.

dearest K4loku,
these pics are great,
St. P. looks fun
and you sounded happy
with the crowd
of just one.
And I just love how you
write about real life
- Park Bench man in view -
and if I could award Oscars
for the best blog here
I'd smother you with 'em
and give a wild cheer!

Wow! devans..
Pelican Brief
in St. Petersburg?
I read the book
but I never heard
of the airplane
with the colored smoke
~ was it in the movie
or is this just a joke?
