Country Meeting

I know this is not a great technical photo by any means and most would at least cropped it or erased the telephone wire.  I just liked the scene when I came apon it. Flocking is a common sight in autumn but this was in the middle of summer on a very hot day.

It's a conference then Mary
Mary MacADNski: With all the autumn flocking, they're working on the world congress now.

That's a lot of flocking for a summer day, Mary.

Actually, I like the parallel wire, and think your judgement is spot on.
Mary MacADNski: It was unusual for summer. I will show the other side of the building soon.

Sheila suggested the birds might be waiting for the start of the high wire act.

Rent a crowd
Mary MacADNski: That might be easier than you think.
This always amuses me Mary. I like the wire in this on which the birds might otherwise stand.
Mary MacADNski: Sheila suggested the birds might be waiting for the start of the high wire act.
A world conference Mary! Well seen.
Mary MacADNski: It's the beginning. Thanks, richard.

I immediately thought of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" by Tennessee Williams when i saw this! I expect that the birds would not be there then, though!
Mary MacADNski: Funny how we read the comments backward on 'recent comments'.I just said to Ginnie who was before (behind ) you, "I will show the other side of the roof soon". That will remind you of a hot tin roof. It was nice that I could cut and paste.

"The reason why I called this meeting....." HA! I love it, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I liked it too. I will show the other side of the roof soon.
Love it Mary. This looks like the "in" roof to be seen on.
Mary MacADNski: As Sheila said, "Waiting for the high wire act to begin.
An unusual sight Mary..You were there at just the right time. Glad you left as it is.Well seen.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks so much. I'm glad people liked it. I was a bit afraid of putting it out there.
It could be a conference, but its nice to think they were all in the auditorium waiting for the hi-wire acrobatics show to begin.
Mary MacADNski: Ha ha! That's too funny. A better imagination than mine. Love it!
Please stand in pecking order, Its good you left it as it is.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Linda.They were very noisy too. I could hear them from m,y car on the road.
I think you done right to leave the wire in Mary, a very entertaining picture.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Brian. I thought twiddlers would object the most.
What a sight! Well worth showing Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks very much for the vote of confidence.
'The wire' is a popular TV series ... so why not.

Mary MacADNski: I get only two channels, a bit unusual I guess. Never heard of this series.

I'm glad you didn't crop out the wire Mary, I think it adds something to the picture.
Mary MacADNski: I'm so glad this is so. I liked it too but truly thought no one else would.

Love it Mary, i usually would suggest a crop but instead would like to see it in B&W because of the texture on the roof line
Mary MacADNski: I have no photo editing software until I figure out how to get some exporting or something done. I moved all my photo off the C drive and Picasa can't find them
