THE BIRDS

Here’s another Folsom waterfall. It looked a lot bigger from the road and definitely seemed to be more than 20 ft. high, but when I got down to it I realized it was only 15 ft. high at most. I won’t be including this on my website but I did take a photo of it, so here you go.

    After this I took Journey on a hike by the lake. The last time I hiked this trail was 15 years ago when I came across a scene straight out of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds: 20 vultures all lined up on fence posts along the trail, such a strange and incredible experience. It was a cold sunny day and they were all warming themselves on the fence. Well it was a cold sunny day again today, perfect conditions for a sequel. Would I see them again, I wondered? Lo and behold, I did see the vultures today warming themselves on the posts. It was not quite the same experience as before and not as many this time (9 or 10), but it was very cool. Unfortunately a dog on the other side of the fence came down to see us and scared the birds away but I was able to take some photos. Journey was much more interested in the dog than the birds. It was a beautiful morning at Folsom Lake.
