GEDC0973, a photo by mr_nihei on Flickr.

Birds of this feather I have not seen for more than 50 years if these birds are seen only in Japan.

They look unique and fit into the scene and scheme of the city quite well.

This is a photo I like quite well, the red train speeding to or from the city's center, the river, the nine birds of a feather enjoying their small space beside the Tama River.

It took a photographer of note to notice such a scene that would pass most people by with never so much as a glance.

In this image is preserved a moment in time faraway from where I am, but a place where I have been, a joy to remember. It is a scene I want to see again someday soon. RLH
