My first attempt at a challenge for Nancy Merrill’s Photo a Week Challenge. This week is Halloween and I happened to take a photo recently that seems to be spooky enough!

This is my interpretation of this weeks photo challenge – “gathering”
Gathering of gulls on Lake Como
and another gathering
A gathering of small girls and ducklings
Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
Another great challenge from Ceenphotography. This week its about finding animals and birds in nature. I chose to look at birds this week, from the humble pigeon via an albino peacock to an exotic flamingo.
This is a photo of the local community of swallows preparing to leave for the long journey south to Africa. They return every year to this little village on Exmoor, raising their young, providing a wonderful display of aerobatic grace, so I hope their journey was successful.
At the bottom of my garden this year I have had some constant companions
These birds, although companiable, are also noisy , which is why the collective term for them is so appropriate.
A murmuration of starlings
Also known in some areas as a “chattering”
Listen!
Can’t you hear them?
You don’t know what your missing
A birds chirp, a Bees hum.
Listen!
Can’t you hear them?
Children’s laughter hark!
Playing In the park.
Listen!
Can’t you hear them?
A lovers sigh
Never to deny.
Listen!
Can’t you hear them?
Old folk words
Wisdom and life’s tales
Listen!
Can’t you hear me?
Heart crying
Soul flying
Listen!
