it's a ringed-neck pheasant! During 1st period yesterday, there was a pause in the rain drops and suddenly, I saw this large bird zipping about the parking lot. So we sneaked slowly outside to see if we could get photos of it. Found out later from our admin that this is Ringo, our resident pheasant.
Another charming corner of this small city; although one could argue that a spitting ram is not so charming. However, he does add interest to the doorway of the wool/knitting shop.
Used a different entrance for my weekly pop-in to the library and found this haiku among the pines and mossed sidewalks.
And finally! A penny found. I leave you with this good quote:
We read to reenchant the world.

Hahahah! Um, definitely not a peacock.
ReplyDeleteThose things roam the hills here... ring-necked pheasants do in the autumn - you just drive by the freeway and see them. It's a little alarming. There are apparently also grouse, but I've never seen one.
I saw a photograph on a typography site of the floor of Seattle's check-out section. That library is amazing....
Yes, it is! And I'm glad to be showing it off again this Monday.
