Since I am burned out on our continuing snowy, frigid weather, I am going to revisit a lovely time in Betws-y-Coed, Wales. These captivating metal-sculptured crows caught my eye at a village square, because they have such personality.
I took them on a trip to Deep Dream Generator and Topaz Studio to add some pizazz.
Thanks to all for taking the time to look - I appreciate all of your kind comments!

Large, glossy-black bird with a wedge-shaped tail. Larger than a crow with a longer, thicker bill. Distinctive shape in flight, with rather long, swept-back wings and long tail. Note smoother, steadier wingbeats compared with faster, choppier wingbeats of crows. Extensive range throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Found in a wide variety of habitats, including desert, coniferous forest, coastlines, sagebrush, tundra, and grasslands. Often solitary or in pairs, but can gather in small groups. Typical call is a loud, guttural croak, but makes an astonishing variety of other strange noises. Compare with Chihuahuan Raven in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, and with various large, all-dark crows and ravens in Europe and Asia. (eBird)
When we started birding in 2005, ravens were unusual enough to take special note. Now, you can expect to see one on nearly every birding outing. So interesting to see how things change over time.

A Crow enjoying views of the River Wear today.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Way yonder a tired horseman on a tired horse is moving
through the shreds of mists. Out of another age he comes,
a quartermaster, a silent herald of miserable war to
come.
There is always something sad about a lone horseman
from another age moving through the mists, especially
at dusk.

One from my archives; these crows seemed to be chatting about something on this very high Cedar Tree branch. I wonder what they were gossiping about?
