:rolling: You are a funny man Homero!

 I'll admit it, I'm drawn to these "Where am I?" thingies like a moth to flame. I shouldn't have
jumped on OFM's post with my clue. Although I thought at the time I was making it more interesting,
in hindsight it seems rude on my part. :icon_redface: I'm sorry OFM, it will not happen again.

 Here is the site I found: Birds of St. Francis

 Someone take it away...please....I promise not to pounce on it. :eusa_angel: :eusa_silenced:

 I tend to agree with you OFM. FM...what?,striking similarities? :icon_eek:, i just noticed!!, anyhow. So far this thread is an eye catcher,but i have not seen any pictures from the sunny latitudes from your trips,maybe i should post some and give it it a try?.

 Maybe some pictures from the Far East, with dudes in a camel...maybe on top of a piramid, in front of a seal..you know,we have a WORLD of places to choose from.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
