Poor as a pigeon

I photographed a number of birds today but when making my blip choice was drawn to this poor pigeon, whom I found pecking around a public picnic area. Slim pickings, I would think, as it has been a bit cold recently for outside barbecues. To me this poor little bird seemed a metaphor for all the earth's downtrodden, yet surprisingly a survivor. Anyway, that's the way I felt, probably because I was so cold too, fingers almost frozen to the shutter. That's what comes of getting up early.
