today. 5.30 am blur. with a strange bird……!

This little bird looks a bit of a peach as picked up by the camera in the morning glow earlier. The tiny white feathered  bird was simply sitting there facing the sun, all on his(her) own. So just three bleary shots!  and then it flew away; no time for anything clearer or any more shots. It simply disappeared. I would love to identify him(her). I have never seen anything like him(her) round here before although it could be the visitor who fleetingly visited our bird bath a day or two ago.

day ends

So where does the day end~
In the evening with the flying things
or in morning brown shadow?

feeling it in slow time

so who cares where the sun is
when you are sitting at a  dark window
your paws sadly resting on the sill
waiting for that someone
grey clouds gathering
and its looking quite a bit like rain?

Can you see him waiting in the window?

Can you see her, sitting all day on her nest?

And look at him, now its evening, eyes fixed on the dark clouds wondering if it will thunder…..
