I’ll start with the parrot.
Do you ever think about how a slight change of routine can lead to something interesting? When I was commuting every day, I often missed my train, so I would tell myself maybe it’s OK. Maybe this means I’ll run into an old friend or make a new one or see something amazing out the window that I would have missed otherwise.
Last week, I walked home from an errand on a different side of the street because it was shadier, and I’m pretty sure I would have missed the parrot if I had stuck with routine. Such a small change! The owner returned as I was taking pictures and told me it was an Amazon Parrot. I was impressed that it hadn’t tried to exit the open window.
The next photos are of a local community garden. I tried to find out if the food bank could do gleaning there as I know the original donor wanted the land to feed the poor. Still researching that. It looked like a lot was going to waste there.
Next comes Verrill Farm, with flowers in pots and flowers you can pick yourself — under amazing skies. That farm seems to have especially wonderful skies. I also liked the sky over the church steeple.
The tree, of course, has a face. I don’t know if it’s an Ent. I hope so, but it wasn’t talking.
The next shot shows the early morning sun over Minuteman Park. Then you have some dancing ladies near the deciduous holly. And a photo of the parrot looking at me indignantly.

Love the garden and the tree! Pretty bird,reminds me of the bird that my husbands family had… Jenny was her name,and she talked ,sang and stole your pancake from your plate if you weren’t watching.😀
The children in the family must have loved seeing that! I can see myself telling grandchildren, “Eat that fast — before Jenny gets it!”
😀
An exceptional batch of photos this time! Unexpected and full of fun!
My favorite thing is to find a curiosity right under my nose that I might have overlooked many times.
And I hear there has been some other unusual activity in my former hometown recently. http://concord.wickedlocal.com/news/20170925/concord-residents-amazed-by-mysterious-man-on-bicycle
Haven’t seen him yet. Will blog about him if I learn more.
