North Sea Coast - july 2012

no, I didn't photoshop the sheep

 

Still newyearwishes as first post in july, I had to change that. 

So here a few pictures I took  in the neighbourhood some weeks ago.

Despite my long absences here - the last months I have been blessed with two new lovely grandchildren and a 3rd on his way- you have hung around, shared words or sent mails and I want to thank you for that.

This morning we found a blackbird in the garden. He was dead. I don't know what happened. Did he crash into the window? Did our dog catch him in a low flight? Yes she thinks she is a cat. Was he just old?
The body was still warm and the beauty of that little bird filled me with tremendous sadness.
Lying so still while a few moments before, flying high and fast, he enjoyed total freedom.
I wanted to capture the perfection and the beauty of this little creature and honour it.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Sorry

There are some difficulties with my blog.
Most of the pictures can't be seen.

I hope the problem will be solved soon.
