Taking Off

On my walk through George Square today dozens of pigeons were clustered on the ground in front of a man with a hat, sitting on a bench in the distance. He had thrown down some food, I reckon. As I got close he suddenly let off a party popper, and the flock took flight. Whether this was his strategy to disperse them when the food was finished, or whether he just enjoyed seeing them scatter - I don't know. He sat there looking the picture of innocence. Anyway, whatever his motive, the scene supplied me with today's blip!
