...And it lightly touched down!

I had just come home from dropping off some friends at the airport and was putting the trash cans behind the fence...thinking "This is not my job."...when I realized that the buzz I was hearing in my head was actually the rotors of a helicoptor flying very close to the earth!
It was hovering over the electric towers that run down the length of Oak Avenue Parkway a couple of blocks from our house. I caught a glimpse of it and paused to watch it, wondering what it was doing. As I pondered, it approached the tower that I could see beyond the houses across the street and it 'lightly touched down' on the top of the tower!
After I gazed on the spectacle for a few seconds, I pulled out my phone to take a picture. (Good thinking, huh?) Then the chopper lifted off again.
It's still buzzing around the neighborhood and I'll bet I could get a picture if I really tried, but I think you could imagine the spectacle pretty well without the picture. It wouldn't be spontaneous at this point anymore, would it?
...'Mr. Bojangles! Mr. Bojangles! Dance....'
