I should have some hidden cameras. I was surprised that they tried to take your sand dollars. That mad me laugh. Last weekend I was up in the mountains and was sitting on the porch having coffee at 5:30am, and the crows made so much noise, I had to go inside. It must be everyone's problem.

I've known crows to be attracted to shiny objects but never roses.<br /><br />When I visited Ireland years ago the milkman would cover the milk bottle he left on a family's outside porch with a heavy metal cup, otherwise the crows would peck open the paper seal on the bottle and drink the milk!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-74358700043706597572010-06-28T09:26:17.015-07:002010-06-28T09:26:17.015-07:00Jeepers...the "black garbed" terrorists ...Jeepers...the "black garbed" terrorists have left Toronto and are headed to the west coast!

It is charming and I wish I knew how you did that – pictures on top of other pictures. My daughter in California started me on my blog last year and installed a small program on my computer to make collages. It is OK but does not give me too many different ways to show my pictures. I looked at some more of your photographs, and they are beautiful. The area where you live is lovely too, so green. I have been several times to British Columbia and would love to go back.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-11401524819746195612010-06-28T08:24:19.425-07:002010-06-28T08:24:19.425-07:00You have a murder of bandit crows there!
