There is no Beauty Without Some Strangeness
- Edgar Allan Poe

The Raven:
Ravens are among the smartest of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated problems invented by ever more creative scientists.
The Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
People around the world sense a certain kind of personality in ravens. Edgar Allan Poe clearly found them a little creepy. The captive ravens at the Tower of London are beloved and perhaps a little feared: legend has it that if they ever leave the tower, the British Empire will crumble.
Common Ravens can mimic the calls of other bird species. When raised in captivity, they can even imitate human words; one Common Raven raised from birth was taught to mimic the word “nevermore.”
The oldest known wild Common Raven was at least 22 years, 7 months old. It was banded and found again in Nova Scotia.

"When the hand of Life is heavy
and night songless,
it is the time for love and trust.
And how light the hand life becomes
and how songful the night,
when one is loving and trusting all"
by Khalil Gibran
Texture by Playingwithbrushes Thank you so much Renee my friend!

without some strangeness in the proportion.”

Happy Flower Friday ;-))
Whenever the forest invites you to go on a hike, there is always a certain tension. Especially paths that you don't know have a special charm on you.
Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides)
Two years ago today I got a call from a fellow 'bird nerd' to say there was a Tawny in the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands, just behind the fire station. I beetled down to have a look and managed to find it. A few days later there were two in the tree. The only time I have seen Tawnies in the Wetlands.
There's lots of horses in the stables at New Victory and they have to be walked every day for exercise.
VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN AMERICAN THEMED SIM. It is somewhere in time, being 1890-1914.
There once was a man and he couldn't cry
He hadn't cried for years and for years
Napalmed babies, movie love stories
For instance could not produce tears
As a child he had cried as all children will
Then at some point his tear ducts all ran dry
Grew to be a man, it all hit the fan
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry
This male Yellow-rumped Warbler stretches to see if there are any insects in the leaves at the end of this branch. I heard him before I saw him and I had to wait a while for him to come close enough for a good photo.

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”

for "ceila" and andreas.
The end of Fall is getting there. As I am, in slowly catching up on Flickr after being away. This image was taken while out on a photo walk in a local park. The time change to shorter days is around the corner and the birds that remain for the winter seem to be aggressively eating at the backyard feeder - at least until some very furry looking squirrels chase them away to get at it for themselves. I may have to get a live trap to relocate these persistent and smart little rodents. In the mean time, have a Happy Sliders Sunday!
