Birds on the Common, 1924

Birds on the Common, 1924
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: BIRDS OR BEES
Left to R. My husband's Great grandmother,(Mary) his Dad, (Ron) and grandmother, (Agnes).
Agnes, Harry (Mary's son) and Ron had recently emigrated from the North of England. Mary is visiting for the first time. She eventually emigrated, too.
Here they are on Boston Common, with a flurry of pigeons (I assume.)

Steve Bucknell, Smiley Derleth, Alan Mays, Nautilus have particularly liked this photo

Love the photo and the blur of the birds' flapping wings! Now that Mary Poppins' song about "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag" is running through my brain. 8)

Thanks, Alan. Those birds almost look drawn in though, don't they?
And that song always chokes me up, believe it or not!
