Caught By Train

As we headed to the overlook yesterday coming from town we saw at the top of the hill that a train was passing by.  As I got closer noticed two birds sitting on a sign like they were also waiting for the train to go by.  It must have been a few minutes or so. Smart birds obeying the rules!    

Waiting...

...and waiting

...and waiting!  Finally, train gone, birds gone!

We just missed a big barge as he headed north after making a turn in the bend. Actually, while waiting for the train to go by we could see the pilot getting ready to execute his wide turn.  

A rotten tree and hill covered with Kudzu

Funny little birds! Did you notice how much the Kudzu covered tree and the high clouds had similar shapes? Did you get rain from those clouds?

You would think the noise of the train would scared them but must be used to it. You are right...it does look similar in shapes...Cool! Did not get much rain out of it but getting some much needed rain today. It just comes and goes in spurts! Thanks for coming by CDGardens! :)
