Throwback Thursday - The Bird Man of the Santa Monica Pier

(originally posted on January 13,  2011)

So my good friends Elaine (Scooter) Brown and hubby Nic Manda are visiting from England (Scooter was my office manager when I worked in the UK during the last Century). We've been seeing the sights around LA this week, including including Hollywood and Highland, Graumann's (Mann's) Chinese Theater, The LA Observatory and Rodeo Drive. Today we visited the world-famous Santa Monica Pier
A beautiful clear day. You can just make out Catalina Island on the far right.


This was Scooter and Nic back in the day (they were dating, they broke up, they got back together 13 years later and got married. Awwww...)

I'm not entirely sure, but this may have had something to do with the breakup...


Anyway, we're walking down the pier, noticing the different buskers and artisans and shops. Then, when we finally got to the end of the pier, there was THIS guy - he'd covered himself with breadcrumbs, and the pigeons and seagulls were walking all over him.

Ewww.


Yeah, we don't have 'em all in Southern California, but we don't miss many.
