Shattering their peace,

I can hear that noise they make as the take off in mass..
Delightful! I pictured this along the Serpentine Wall, in Northern KY. I looked up zocalo and find it even better. I wonder if he disturbed the Aztec’s as well.
A flapping of wings breaks the peace.
Great haiku. Thanks for the new word. I had to look it up. Now my mind’s image is complete and I can add this to my vocabulary’s reper…reper…..what? 🙂

Quite a commotion I see .. that boy probably is just bored by the siesta.
I can totally picture this!
Oh yes, sometimes I want to tell the little boys to leave the birds alone.
Everywhere I go in the world, little boys (and sometimes little girls) are chasing pigeons in some public square.

A favorite activity of many a young boy.
Your haiku is exquisite. When my children were young we spent a lot of time in Baja and even though there wasn’t a photo in your post, I instantly imagined one.
A child have fun anywhere in the world. Rome, New York, Mexico City. Birds. Space. Children. Joy and gaiety
Indeed! Thanks for the reminder. And it doesn’t take much to bring joy to a child, either.

Ah poor pigeons … always the object of children’s pranks … 🙂
Beautiful scene … however a sad idea to scare the pigeons …
