I was downtown a couple of days ago taking a walk along the San Diego Harbor after a high-rise condo inspection.

In addition to finding Alfred Hitchcock's birds, I noticed that a new set of public art has been installed along the harbor, and while I got lots of pictures of the new public art, those pictures are not appropriate for a morning with Mother and Father Nature.

However, I did see a very beautiful bow ornament on one of the boats:

It reminded me of some of the huge hood ornaments on those cars from the late '60s and early '70s, but then it rotated:

How cool is that? A rotating bow ornament! But wait! There's more!

It started flapping its wings!

It's amazing what those little computer chips can do nowadays, from smart phones to itty bitty televisions to smart homes to very realistic brown pelican bow ornaments on boats. Gosh, they are so real that they just might fly away.

Bye, bye birdie!
