World Bird Wednesday LXXX

Compose Yourself

     I chanced upon this Black Crowned Night heron speckled with fluff from the neighboring cottonwood trees. Obviously annoyed with the situation, the stately bird flexed it's smooth plumage and efficiently cast off the debris. In another moment composure returned and the sleek outline of the heron was once again intact.
     It is a remarkable experience to take to the fields, forests, and wetlands in search of bird life, never really sure at the onset what wonders we might see. Yet we go anyway.
     Do we observe in the beasts of the air, in their habits and peculiarities, something of ourselves reflected there? Perhaps we see in these animals traits we would wish for; patients, courage, agility, steadfastness, and of course beauty.
     How we bloggers assemble our pictures and stories reveals a great deal about us personally. In this artistic sense, we are composing ourselves into our works.
     Fate has given us all a different frame of reference, a unique way of looking at things. On one hand we share a uncommon love for birds and photography, on the other, we bring a lifetime of interesting personal experiences to the mix. Your singular vision in concert with others is what makes the weekly trek around this planet we call WBW such an exceptional adventure.
     Thank you for sharing!
