A shocked bird
Some months ago, when it was still winter, I wrote about the remains of the apples, that we had throw in the garden to feed the birds. ( Street rain and some apples…. ) Last week, I decided to remove the sad remains of the remains, in an attempt to make the garden look as if it was under human control. The birds can find lots of food now, I thought, and as the apples was laying under the hedge in the front yard, we were confronted with the sad sight every time we went out. I did a lot of thinking before I went in action, to be sure that the needs of both humans and birds had been taken into consideration.
Convinced that I was doing the right thing, I started to fill the the wheelbarrow, when suddenly a furious blackbird landed in front of me, and in notes of warning chirped
“STOP STOP!! Are you out of your mind….what are you doing???”
I realized, that this wasn´t rotten apples at all, but a golden storeroom, owned by this young and handsome bird, who I am sure have told every female bird in the area about his wealth. I stopped my garden cleaning, and went to take my camera instead. The bird was still guarding his treasure when I came back, and even my camera isn´t that good, I think it is easy to see that this bird is a shocked bird.
The garden is still not under human control, – but we have a very satisfied bird!
Pictures from Denmark (1)
Inspired by the wonderful photos from the north of England, posted at uphilldowndale and from Devon at melindaschwakhofer I have decided to post some more photos from Denmark, now and then. I like to see other places, and enjoy when it becomes possible. Maybe you do, too?
This one is from the north of Zealand.
In case you are looking for some information about the “construction” of Denmark:
“The country consists of a large peninsula, (Jylland) Jutland and a large number of islands, most notably (Sjælland) Zealand, (Fyn) Fuen, Vendsyssel-thy, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago” wikipedia
Rain at the street and strange bird behaviour.
After weeks of sunshine, the rain was a welcoming guest, both to the plants and to me.
I saw something very surprisingly in the garden, when I was looking out of the window. Participants were a pidgin and two magpies. They were all eating the leftovers of the rabbits feed. Suddenly, one of magpies began to pull the feathers of the pidgin. The strange thing was, that the pidgin didn´t care at all, it just kept on eating, while now both magpies tried everything to stop it. They even pulled one of the wings straight out. Later I saw these feathers. Maybe the pidgin actualy liked to get rid of them?
Structure
erikatakacs asked some time ago for all kinds of textiles, patterns and textures. It has been fun to look for that kind of motives, and I am seeing structures and pattern everywhere now. Here is some of them.
