Lunch Date

Friday I took the car downtown for an oil change and a minor repair.
While the car was in the shop I wandered about down town on foot.
I found a lovely mall with open air halls and gorgeous landscaping.

I wandered about snapping pictures.

Then I made some new friends over lunch.

The Zebra Dove was a bit shy.

The Spotted Dove was very attentive — to my plate.

The English Sparrows were intent on gathering up my every crumb, even if it meant plucking them from another bird’s beak!

All-in-all it was a charming day.

 

Quilly is the pseudonym of Charlene L. Amsden, who lives on The Big Island in Hawaii. When she is not hanging out with Amoeba, she is likely teaching or sewing. Or she could be cooking, taking photographs, or even writing. But if she's not doing any of that, she's probably on Facebook or tinkering with her blog.

  1. ah, sparrows are the same the world over, it seems.
    nice to hear you had a good time.

  3. Our malls should be so nice. I like the contrast between the sparrow and the dove. The must be a moral in that somewhere.

  4. Polona — and doves are less than bright. The spotted one just stood there and let the sparrows peck the food right from it’s mouth.

    Dr. John — this entire island is built to appeal to tourists.

    Jill — several. Depends on which way you want to twist the story. Is the sparrow a villain and the dove the victim? Or is the sparrow intelligent and quick, while the dove is clumsy and slow?
