FLYING AWAY




Skies of different days are filled with flocks of birds. South reads on their map, but how they find there. Navigating by shores or mountains, hills or forests? Does the wind tell them and take them there. Seagulls, they will stay and only go when there is no open water. Goose flock was having their break in a park, middle of yellow leaves. Maybe they came from Greenland.

Birds at home. One bird who will stay with me through the winters, got a woolen jacket to stay warm. The other ones have always summer next to flower fields. They sway in their flock. The third one is living in Iceland, but I had the pleasure to meet some of them with my camera. Bon voyage migrating birds, have a safe journey!

The small lake behind my window is having white peaks on its waves, it is such a windy day. I wish for sunshine for tomorrow, when friends take mbe to a mushroom forest. Tea in a thermo bottle, cinnamon buns and a woven basket with a wish of a nice treasure from the moss fields.

Warm weekend wishes to you with some golden whiskers of the sun!

  1. I'd forgotten how much I love puffins! I never used to believe they were real outside of the book jackets.

  3. It`s true...how do they really know where to go? Migration is truly a special happening which happens yearly here too...the Canadian geese will start to head south soon.

    Love your Albatross hanger...HUGS

  5. Here, blue tits are singing in the cherry tree that looses its leaves.
    Soon I would put their some seeds wth butter to help them through the winter.
    I am sure they are not coming for Greenland.

  10. Dear Anonymous, everything that you see is done by me. Only on the second picture, on the right wall there are a few pictures drawn by my friend (three framed pictures hanging above each others).
