me at el parque de las palomas, overcome with joy at the pigeons eating out of my hands and brandishing one toward the camera in a single-armed gesture of Adoration
me at el parque de las palomas in a state of bliss due to the pigeons eating out of my hands, including one especially handsome rock dove with iridescent brown neck plumage
me at el parque de las palomas continuing to vibe with the pigeons eating out of my hands, dual-wielding pigeons for a time, sharing a couple more pigeon closeups
i have a policy that i try not to publish photos of myself that wouldn't be at least a little Weird for a local newspaper to try to Fair Use for my obituary and all of these meet the criterion gloriously
@maya you look so happy!!!!! :)
@stephen people use the phrase "unalloyed joy" a lot when there's at least a little alloying going on but Not With Pigeon
@maya the pigeons are beautiful, and so is your delight in them!
@twistylittlepassages honestly these are the happiest pictures of me that I've liked in about a decade hahaha
@maya DECADES FOR THE DECADE GOD

@maya EATINGS FOR THE EATING GOD
me at el parque de las palomas, staring lovingly at pigeons eating out of my hands and beaming with joyous incredulity at the camera
