Day 169 –“No bird ever flew nonstop from New York to Tokyo, or raced 15 miles high at triple the speed of sound. But birds do something else. They do not conquer the air; they romance it.” – Peter Garrison
The Dream of Icarus
Mourning Dove in Evening Light
Day 161 – A mourning dove perched outside my window this evening.
Bird in Motion
Day 140 – I was walking around the yard enjoying this lovely spring day. This little fellow sat perched on the bush for a while and just when I felt sure enough to snap the shot, he took off. Luckily I caught him just in time.
Soft Landing
118 – Sitting in our backyard fort waiting for the birds to visit the feeder I got this shot. I cropped it down from a wider image.
Hand Drawn
Day 108 – This drawing was found among my grandfather’s souvenirs and papers from WWII. He probably picked it up when he was in Hawaii or Japan.
Sandra’s gift
Day 84 – My dear cousin, Sandra, brought this back for me from one of her trips to Poland.
House Finch
Day 59 – I realize that I posted a picture of a house finch in the bushes before. But this little lady surprised me this morning when I pulled up. She stayed just long enough for me to grab my camera and get a shot. Let’s see if her and the gang are there when I put up the Christmas lights. I’ll make it up to her by filling the feeder out back.
Grey Bird Red Seeds
\\Day 52 – Some more experimentation in Photoshop with a photo I took at my mother-in-law’s house. She has so many beautiful birds that I hope to spend more time in her backyard when the weather gets warmer.
Put A Bird On It
Day 9 – Everyone needs shelter from the rain. And everyone knows that art is simple – just put a bird on it.
