Early to bed. If you're a crow.
Sunset (4:30 PM; the days are short now) from Lee Valley Tools, at the bottom edge of Vancouver:
The whole time we stood there, a flock of crows was passing by, coming in from the coast on their way to the Stillcreek area, where thousands of crows always roost at night. I counted by fives as fast as I could; after about twenty seconds, I gave up. I had reached 80, but I'd missed a few.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!

Hi, beautiful pictures.. i love how looks the sky at this time.. 45 waw!
ReplyDeleteI love crows and the huge rook roosts we get in Wales. In soma areas tens of thousands will gather
ReplyDeleteThe color of that top lacy tree photo is superb!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think I've ever seen that many crows together at one time.
My sister and I spent 3 days at the beach where we got rained on, blown over by the wind, snowed on, and finally a few hours of sunshine.
I had a "Wanderin' Weeta moment" when I found a jellyfish washed up on the beach and stopped to take close up pictures. I'll be posting about that soon! So ... thank you for the inspiration!
Gracias, DS.
ReplyDeleteMark, I'd love to see that! I don't think I've ever seen a rook.
Clytie, one day I am going to go to Stillcreek at roosting time, just to get a photo. The number of crows is unbelievable; every tree is black with them!
