yi-ching lin photography 
in a complicated
world, the brain learns
to process data
through shortcuts –
the three sustained
horns from a passing
truck summon
Mathis der Maler,
the lingering cologne
in the stairwell, two
lifetimes ago,
the lady in the park
with pigeons and
other stereotypes –
neurons will fire
in synchrony
to fill in the
superstitions
and fears
.

This is a wonderful capture. Poor lady to be bothered by birds, but such sweet reaction. 🙂
well, she brought a bag of goodies to feed the pigeons and random squirrels and seemed very happy.
Lovely photo of pigeons! They all seemed to be enjoying the moment.

love the movement of the birds and the expression of the woman.
thank you, Susan! hope you enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving!
I’d frame and hang this one, “Y”. Why? The memory of that segment in Mary Poppins where the old lady is feeding the birds and that beautiful song that accompanies it are brought to mind. It moved me and this photo does the same for me.
my dear Leslie, thank you so much! that’s really sweet.
So many great photos… great job, Yi..
