“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE – ELLA FITZGERALD
Spring is here at last
my little bird has flown
he stayed throughout Winter for four long months
but now he is fully grown
I have empty nest syndrome
he was a part of my every day
but yesterday standing by the Willow
I saw that he was not far away
I still watch the screen of the CCTV
waiting for him to roost each night
even though I know he's in the gardens
I am hoping he will nest to my delight
selfish of me I suppose although
it has been difficult to let go
I was privileged to watch this tiny wild creature
for as long as I did and at least I know
that he is happy in my gardens
I saw he met a lovely friend
I imagine them snugly in the ivy
that twines the willow around without end
each evening I stand and listen intently
and wish upon a star for signs
that my little Blue Tit is making plans
to raise a family this Spring Time
my little Robin follows me around
singing loudly and reassuring me
that my little Blue Tit is safe and secure
and life goes on quite naturally
I am heartened by this sweet revelation
and turn my attention to the budding trees
the thick evergreen of the twisting ivy
that will remain again this year for a new family
I heard tell that these little birds
can have up to fourteen tiny babies; I'm learning
and how wonderful it will be to look up at the Willow
and see my little Blue Tit's Family Tree emerging.

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I took off the tops of several electronic devices and didn't find anything I liked. then I just took off my watch... and now I'm not even sure if it is an "electronic" at all... but the copper inductor may be a hint...
HAVE A HAPPY MACRO-MONDAY everyone :-)

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Defying space and time to bring you a previously unpublished shot from one of my Street Photography Workshops in Glasgow during September 2018. I had just been talking about the concept of having recurring themes in your work in order to help you out when you are losing inspiration. One of my Flickr albums being 'Pink and Blue' is just an example of this. Enjoy!
Shot with two off-camera strobes (Leica SF60/Leica SFC1 trigger). Flash A positioned in front and above subject, modified with MagMod MagSphere diffuser. Flash B positioned behind velum scrim, modified with MagMod MagBounce and blue MagMod MagGel.
The exotic male eider duck was one of a flock of 10 birds in the bay.
Eider - Somateria Mollissima

Many thanks as always to those who view and in particular take time to comment on, or fave my photos.

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”
