St. Francis and the mockingbird

Taken at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

I think they had a staring contest. St. Francis lost and is hanging his head. The mockingbird is looking for another contender.

I just love this. Birds have no respect for statues

An excellent capture of the bird and the patron saint of animals. The way the statue is looking down with the bird on its head is remarkable. V
