This isn't about one of life's frustrations, but rather a pleasant surprise....
It was a beautiful start to my ride home tonight on my sparkly green trike (motorcycle.) Poofy clouds in the sky, cool breezes and tree-lined city streets.
Suddenly, a pigeon flew out of one of the trees and down the street in front of me. I wouldn't have given it a second thought, except right after the pigeon, a ginormous hawk swooped down out of the same tree, wings fully spread, chasing after the pigeon.
Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of hawks in the city. But typically they hang out on top of the street lights, high above the freeways. This was on a regular city street – flying right beside me in the next lane over! I'm just not used to seeing them that close. It's wingspan was huge!
I did a double-take as it flew beside me, thinking that's not something you see every day! The hawk did a double-take looking at me, probably thinking the same thing.
And the pigeon was probably thinking....I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!
I just wish I could have gotten a picture of that breath-taking bird of prey.
