[Leica] CV-19 Autumn Bird Feast - Pyracantha Coccinea

[Brian Reid]

I was walking my dog, who found the notion of unconscious birds to be 
tremendously exciting. I needed to get the dog away from that spot 
quickly, or she would have torn my arm from its socket as we fought over 
control of the leash. I went back 20 minutes later without the dog, to 
get a picture, but the birds were gone.
