I was returning from shooting photos in the snow in a park in Barboursville WV recently, hands frosty, nose runny. Noticed a wheeling flock of birds in a soccer field. Walked that way, smartphone armed. They kept moving, I kept after them. Here they are, set to two tracks of piano recorded to join with the footage: “Chasing Birds in Snow,” video and music by Douglas John Imbrogno | Best exercise of the season, so far.
