Gathering

A little House Finch is gathering bits and pieces to build a nest right outside my office window.  I am enjoying watching her and her mate gather twigs, twine & plant bits to add to the nest.  As she flies in and out, her partner sits on the trellis and sings to her in encouragement.  I hope to include a photo of them as soon as they sit still for a moment.

Meanwhile, I have been at the computer most of the afternoon trying to learn new things on Photoshop and getting my photo's ready for class.

Here are a few that I have done with their color palettes....

“Remember, remember

the sacredness of things

running streams and dwellings

the young within the nest

a hearth for sacred fire

the holy flame of fire.”

--Pawnee prayer
