September 17 2009:
The Pigeon Lady

view map

Woking.

I spotted this sweet lady in town feeding the pigeons with a whole baguette - it was certainly their lucky day!

When I arrived a young guy was already taking a candid of her, but I decided to get closer and ask her permission. She said yes and appeared to be happy as long as the birdies got fed!
