A Bird's-eye View 11x14 marker and ink on paper |
The trees behind our home are flush with activity and noise. The songbirds are hard at it: nesting, singing; vying for territory, protective. My mornings begin with their songs, typically delightful - unless it’s a repetitive crow “caw” or a blue jay’s rusty blast. I watch these birds as I drink my first coffee, wonder at their survival skills, and marvel at their constant activity. I only notice doves resting. (Do the others?) My take away from my early morning, foggy-eyed glances of the backyard birds is that of adopting a bird’s-eye view as time carries on. New perspectives always help.
