It's closer to Halloween now. It's closer to the anniversary of the day that made this place the subject of twilight tale. The air's a bit cooler tonight. A lot of the leaves that were clinging to the trees earlier in the week are now blowing down empty lanes. Children sit and finish homework but think about the weekend to come when churches have ghost-free Fall-fests and next night going door-to-door pillaging piles of perfection into plastic pumpkin pales.
With my window open I rest the camera lens on my lap. Fluttering sounds as a bird lands on a power line above me...more fluttering...louder and louder as more and more birds descend on Carey Place. They must know...I think...of what happened here. It's where they must be tonight. For tomorrow Carrie comes home.
Camera info: 24-70mm lens at 70mm. 1/1000 sec at f/3.2. ISO 100.

Thank you all, this turned out to be one of my favorites from the blog so far.
Jen...you're too kind.
I love this one! Birds on wires and/or fences always make me wish for my camera--thanks for snapping it for me. :-)
