Once Upon a Time...

Posted by Shrigley Photography (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) on 14 August 2007 in Animal & Insect.

in a land far (or not so far) away lived a girl who grew up in the country. Fresh air, trees, cows, cats, grass, acres of land, farms, a forest and most importantly, birds that startled easily and flew away at the first sight of a human.

Then, this girl moved to a land with not so many trees, no farms to speak of and land that was not free roaming but taken up with buildings and diners. More importantly, she could approach the birds, standing practically a foot away and they would never fly away from her, startled and scared.

Well, needless to say, this made the girl rather nervous. Where she came from, one could not be 10 steps away from a bird before the bird took off like a jet. But now, they came 10 steps away from her and she got scared and ran off.

So, what did she do to overcome this small fear of birds-too-damn-close-for-her-own-comfort?

She took a picture of them.

And is happy to report....they still make her a bit nervous. ;)

But she lived happily ever after with birds that wouldn't fly away. And they were happy too.

Until Tomorrow...
