There’s something about a raptor on the wing, great photo that Osprey. We have a pair nearby, wonderful birds.

I love the black-and-white bird images! The crow brought to mind a medieval ecclesiatic (and not in a good way).

Great black and white images. I especially like the goldfinches. Black and white brings out their details.

Beautiful BnW images. The first one is nicely framed by these branches. The two goldfinches are so cute!

The crow reminds me of a little old man.

Tugging

Is it selfishthis chosen solitude?How I treasure silence,stillness baiting my muse And is it my calmthat attracts chaos?The sorrow of otherslanding on my doorstep What if I rejected pleas,locked out the troubles?How long can I sustainpeace until need answers?
