If they can have an Oscar-winning film called Birdman, then I can have an award-winning (okay, not award-winning, but at least blog-worthy) photo called Birdlady.
I met this woman in the space south of Trinity Lutheran Church in the St. James Town area. She doesn’t feed the birds and squirrels every day, but when it’s cold she makes a point of giving them something to eat. She comes with bird seed, peanuts and, in case the squirrels don’t like the peanuts, she brings walnuts.
She loves animals. She grew up with animals. Her father kept dogs and cats. They had a chicken too. They even had a pig. Her father raised the pig as a family pet. He gave it milk from a bottle when it was little. They lived in a small town and everyone knew them. Wherever her father went, the pig followed him.
