A Bird in the Paw is Worth Two …

Another week has gone by. We’re another week older and that means there’s a new PhotoHunt theme and a new Caturday Art Blog Hop over at Athena’s place. Once again, I’m up to both challenges. Our theme is caca dropping Bird.


We don’t get many birds around the big city but we do have these rats with wings called pigeons. They hang on the roof of the deserted factory next door and hold their bird meetings. Sometimes, they mock me. TW took this photo a few years ago and saved it for a rainy day. Today is that rainy day.


I turned it into my fantasy. I’m on the roof and those smart-a$$ birds aren’t mocking me now. Notice how I’m licking my lips. After I finish those three, I’ll head over to that lone guy. If he thinks I don’t see him, he’s got another think coming.

For the art hop, I’ve taken the lead photo and first added an action called—appropriately enough—Earlybird. Heh-heh! Then I put a sponge filter over that so it looks like a painting.
