Here are more shots from the Turkey Rod Run, yesterday. Notice that I actually did see beautifully renovated antique cars at the show. There was a whole field of them, but you won't see those pictures because I didn't put my attention on them. I was fascinated watching people, signs, piles of "stuff", and obviously, the food; oh, and the birds.
I brought the picture of the birds back to you again because they remind me of something I do, and I think I might put it in the "human plight" category. The place was riddled with food. Food was located in a series of booths along side streets and dotted throughout the field. The seagulls are drawn to food. If you have been to the beach and fed them and watched them splatter your friend's shoulder as I have over a few chips, you know they can be voracious scavengers, scrapping for food, but I notice they have a tendency to flock to a single piece. There was food, food, food, and the flock of birds you see in the picture are all competing for a few morsels one man, walking down an aisle, dropped on the ground. I bet they didn't see the antique cars in the field, either.
There were probably two or three hundred gorgeous cars there, but my attention was elsewhere. What a "bird brain!" I missed an opportunity for great photos, but like the seagulls, I focused elsewhere. I am not ungrateful because I had a wonderful day, but next time, I hope to expand my sights further to take in more of what is offered to me on a platter shaped like a giant infield. There is more available to us than we can imagine. Let the seagulls eat crust.
