hi.
i so wish i had something to tell you. but my mind is all wrapped up in the day-to-dayness of our lives this week. re-entry into school and work, and looking ahead to things as far off and abstract as summer, leaves me a bit reticent.
but i've been taking pictures, yes i have.
the top one is film, from a walk i took the day after christmas (film does make you wait for it).
the bottom one is from yesterday, outside of the gallery. i waited for those birds to fly off the roof of the music hall, and fly, they did.
is there anything more captivating than watching a flock of birds fly? how do they know where to go, how to fly together in unison like that? what makes them land? and what makes them take off again?
i truly wonder at this.
and i truly love the winter landscape. the greys and browns and (surprisingly) the blues. you really see the blue sky when the distraction of leaves is gone.
these thoughts take up a lot of room in a head full of schedules and menu plans and worry. i am grateful for such a beautiful distraction.
best wishes. thanks for reading.

i love the words beautiful and distraction next to each other. :) and you are so right about noticing the blue skies.
that first shot is so swoon inducing that i just sigh. the birds make me think of freedom and flying off to someplace warm....or hitchcock. ok ok, only hitchcock if they start landing near me.
oh the birds. worth the waiting. the image is lovely. and yes, filled with wonderment.
it is amazing how much more you can see when the leaves are gone. there's a telephone line up the street from us where the pigeons like to perch. every time i drive by i wish i had my camera. perhaps i need to have my camera with me more often.
I drempt of a flock of birds flying over me this morning after falling back asleep. your picture startled me when i saw it since it reminded me of the dream!
