It's August 2008, and myself and the dinky dynamo Eolist have stopped here for a spot of lunch and a photo opportunity. It's quite a find for us; apparently they filmed a famous movie here once.
As I pose for the camera in front of the old schoolhouse and its playground, Eolist starts shouting and pointing. I frown and try to listen, but her words are swept away by the wind blowing down the hill.
Am I standing bland? I do forget to smile sometimes. I pose harder.
My friend continues to wave and shout.
Is my tie not straight?

Should I NOT be thinking about Edgar Allen Poe right now?
ReplyDeleteHey Britt! Well, if you try not to, you inevitably will. These were a mixture, but I do love Poe's favourite. Indigo x
DeleteSmile demmit!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Lass! Well said! The camera does NOT love me, but I really don't help it try. Indigo x
Deleteand you should see the flock that ISN'T in the photo...
ReplyDeleteHey Eolist! True, but you did look taller when covered by them =D Roth x
DeleteI think you need one of those plastic hooded ponchos. And a slingshot.
ReplyDeleteMum says I can have a slingshot, but not a hoodie.
DeleteHoly Shades of Hitchcock, Indigo! What did you and Eolist get yourselves into this time?
ReplyDeleteHey Boom Boom! I'd rather not talk about it. Especially the bit in the phone booth. Roth x
DeleteWas there bird poo on your shoulder?
ReplyDeleteHey Max! I couldn't move for the stuff by the time we were done; I looked like I'd been victimised by an incontinent pteranodon. Roth
DeleteThat is such a great photo! I was born in SF and loved "The Birds" but have never been to Bodega Bay. I think I've got to go!
ReplyDeleteHey Linda! Marin County is the best. We loved it around Inverness and Point Reyes Station! Indigo x
DeleteBAHAHAHA! Wonderful nod to Hitchcock! I can't recall how many times I saw that movie, but it scared the bejeezus out of me each and every time. But damn, it was good.
ReplyDeleteHey Jayne! I know a few folk who have been scared of birds since watching it. Primal stuff! Still, it inspired ANGRY BIRDS, so it's not all bad ;> Indigo x
DeleteHey Indigo - looks like you should get the flock out of there buddy!
ReplyDeleteEolist saved me - she picked me up and ran with me. She's tiny but feisty! Roth
Delete"Pose harder".
ReplyDeleteWhy I oughta...
Pearl
Heh, lost concentration. Lemme try that again. No, STOP that! Okay, once more. With feeling x Roth
DeleteI wouldn't have been shouting if I were her. I would have been running far far away, and bully to you haha!
ReplyDeleteHey Kato! You're a woman of compassion. Here, I saved this rabid seagull for you... Roth x
