Another one of my Red Wing Blackbird images. I couldn't help the name it just came to me that he was praying.

He's checking to see if his pants are zipped. Nice shot. I grew up with these birds nearby but now have to go further out due to urban sprawl. Very unique call they have.

Sure, make me depressed as winter is on it's way here folks. Our winters are colder by far. We can see as cold as -50 degrees celcius here during our winters.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Magical shot! Was there any more detail in the blacks?

"What other reason could there be to get up in the morning except to set ourselves free." If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.

They are wonderfuly colored and I can just give you a 10 for your great work! Congrats! P.S. Many of your shots are part of my desktop's wallpapers.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

I close my eyes And his image floats beside me. A sweaty-toothed madman With a stare that pounds my brain. His hands reach out and choke me And all the while he's mumbling. Mumbling truth. Truth like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, It'll never be enough. you kick at it, beat it, It'll never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying, To the moment we leave, dying. It'll just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream. -Todd DPS
