Time To Reflect
On these wet and wintry days when photography is less active it gives me time to reflect and view my photos that I have acquired while looking through the camera lens into the private lives of my subjects.

Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these?
Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught
The dialect they speak, where melodies
Alone are the interpreters of thought?
Whose household words are songs in many keys,
Sweeter than the instrument of man e'er caught!

A great photo Gillian! Birds really have their own personality, don't they?
ReplyDeleteLongfellow went on to say...
Think, every morning when the sun peeps through
The dim, leaf-latticed windows of the grove,
How jubilant the happy birds renew
Their old, melodious madrigals of love!
And when you think of this, remember too
'T is always morning somewhere, and above
The awakening continents; from shore to shore,
Somewhere the birds are singing evermore.....
Russ
And finished with...
ReplyDeleteThink of your woods and orchards without birds!
Of empty nests that cling to boughs and beams
As in an idiot's brain remembered words
Hang empty 'mid the cobwebs of his dreams!
Will bleat of flocks or bellowing of herds
Make up for the lost music, when your teams
Drag home the stingy harvest, and no more
The feathered gleaners follow to your door?
Excerpt from: Tales Of A Wayside Inn
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Just love this photo of the magpie.

There is a saying Katherine, that they eyes are the windows to the soul!
DeleteAnd what a beautiful eye this magpie has.
Thank you............
