Maybe something a little more dramatic for a cold winter's day

1. Ask not for whom the

birds wait! Reminds me of a certain hospital which usually had buzzards
circling in the late afternoon...

2. no joke

from their perch, they can see the St. Joseph's North Hospital in Tampa [insert demonic laugh here]

3. Looks bleak.

9. this park is about 1 mile from my home

although it is in Tampa, the park is owned by the city of St. Petersburg from a time long ago when municipalities bought up land farther and farther away for the purpose of securing water sources. Very little development as a park and trees are left to their own life cycles so there are many of these pine trees that are a photographers dream

4. Wow, what an ominous sight!

5. These are both terrific photos, my dear HAB911!

Foreboding, yes, but also very striking in how the birds appear.

Great composition!

Thank you!

8. Excellent photos, creepy birds. 😉

Black vultures creep me out for some reason. Don't ask me why, they just do. Give me turkey vultures any day!
