Birds and Broken Windows ... Weekend Reflections


Sissie and I were walking at the abandoned mega-church, when a commotion struck our eye.


These cute little birds were having a feast in the overgrown parking lot - just yards away from where we stood!


It was so hard to put into perspective where we were ... the broken and bashed mega-church behind us, yet with the beauty of nature before us.

  4. Absolutely wonderful! Your birdie pictures turned out a lot better than mine. It was quite a contrast to what we were seeing, wasn't it? Especially the gruesome thing we found in the bowels of the building. It was like darkness lifted when we saw the innocence of the birds.

  10. I love your bird he is such a beautiful color great shots.
    As for the broken window well it seems sad to me with so many homeless people around that a perfectly lovely building is going to waste...maybe I'm just crazy but it seems to me that we could match up some empty buildings with people who need help. Love you.
