For Jean

My Mother-in-Law loves taking pictures of birds. She's very good and has had a number of her pictures published. Last year, she kept asking when I was going to post bird pictures on the blog. This is what I gave her:

And I have to admit that I didn't take that picture of Stanley Seagull landing in the mint; Randy did.

This year, however, I have taken a couple of pictures...they're not as good as hers are. I don't have her patience...and neither, obviously, do the birds because they flew away after I'd only gotten off a few shots!
