The Birds, by Irot

Saw the Birds above from the train window yesterday, and went back today on my new ebike for a closer look.

The ebike is primarily an accommodation for my age and failing knee, allowing me to ride more longer when I feel like it – hauling groceries, or books and laptops to work, or searching out distant tacos, that sort of thing. But with its motor and giant everything-proof tires, it also proved a useful workhorse this morning for getting up the railroad tracks in Albuquerque’s near North Valley for a closer look at Irot’s Birds.
