dancing birds

Yesterday while I was waiting to pick Mike up at the train station I noticed how all the birds were flying-- a couple starlings were chasing a crow away from their territory by the tracks, while two little chickadees were just perched on the commuter rail sign, hopping up and flapping their wings before settling back down on the sign. It made me think about how amazing it would be to be able to move around while touching nothing-- sort of like swimming but without the resistance of the water-- without the resistance of anything.

What would humans do if we could move without touching anything? I think this is why we like jumping photos so much :)
