I like your sharp focus on the blackbird and the rich green bokeh behind. Very nice. A Hartford insurance executive in the 1930s and 40s -- Wallace Stevens -- was also a noted poet, and one of his better known poems is about Thirteen Blackbirds. (I don't understand the poem at all.)
You asked about having the Elizabeth Park bench Charles and Margaux were sitting on for ABOB. Of course. You can have any of my benches without the need to ask.
Most interesting. We have been watching a flock of blackbirds, grackles, that are living in our neighborhood. They have been fun to watch as the fledging birds are just leaving the nest. Fine photos.
Surprisingly accommodating.
ReplyDeleteThis bird seems quite curious!
ReplyDeleteQuite the poser!
ReplyDeleteCute little bird.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of having a portfolio for a blackbird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty. Birds make a place seem healthy and hearty. Lovely!

ReplyDeleteExcellent! You are a blackbird portrait maker. Now all he has to do is find an agent who then needs to find him some jobs as a blackbird model!
