Contrary to expectations I didn’t see many birds. The only bird photo I managed was of these Apostle Birds. I don’t know anything about them. It is a mystery to me why the three of them sitting together in the middle of the road, not in the least bit interested in moving or disturbed by my presence.
The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
WOW - totally different genre but again a wowphoto! Just did some searching and now I know why I have never seen Apostlebirds ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. They may have been babies waiting for a parent to feed them. Great shot.cosal
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab photo! I believe Apostle birds are so named because they hang around in groups of up to a dozen or so (but you probably already knew that!!). As to why they were sitting together in the middle of the road, was it a cold day?
ReplyDeleteRed, I didn't know that was why they are called Apostle Birds. It wasn't particularly cold weather.
