So for the record I need to record this story somewhere or I will likely forget it. I might as well share it with all of you.
A couple days ago I was walking down the bike trail near my parents house in Kenmore, Washington with a couple of friends. We went shopping in some of the stores along the trail and got out of them and back on the trail home just as dusk was starting to crawl in. Suddenly we heard thousands of crows cawing and looked up to see what must have been between 10,000 to 20,000 birds moving over head in a thick dark line through the sky from one horizon to the next. We looked up to see the birds path passing right below the moon. It gets better, suddenly over a tree line nearby came one of the huge brand new passenger planes that boeing was testing with a little tester jet flying side by side with it over the darkening skies. The plane was flying low so it looked very large and it startled the crows who must have thought it was a threat. So as the plane passed over the crow line, the crows directly below it broke out of formation and started flying in different directions even though the plane was hundreds of feet above them. The crows in the sky made sure that they would not line up with the silhouette of the plane.
No camera of course, things never pan out that way, the moon, the dusking sky, the plane and jet flying side by side parting a sea of crows like Moses. A once in a life time image for the mind to keep.
I get lots of those in the great out doors it seems, wrestling and snorting moles, galloping shrews, hawks in tight pursuit of eagles, fawns that want to play tag with me, large heron battles. Nature loves mocking me as a photographer, but at least I get the experiences.

Peace
