Chuck sings

Chuck is the wild European Serin (Serinus serinus) that lives in our garden.

 

I caught him on the rare occasion that he brought his evening song in a tree close to our home, but I didn't like the result...

 

 

 

So from one rare occasion to another, I edited the picture. 

 

 

 

 

This is my favorite colour: The black outline of a tree against a deep blue evening sky...

“Persia !”the current shouted, and then slowed down.

But since the paddles were lost, there was no choice but to wait...

But what for?

 

“Sometimes the current can go slow

but you'd be surprised at what flows underneath.”

the lioness whispered.

Sky on the road

 

Keep moving forward...

 

 

 

Towards the evening sky.
 

 

 

Its beautiful colours

encouraging to continue.

 

 

 

 

Every new day holds the promise of a beautiful sunset...

Skyscapes

 

 

Nothing is as limitless as the great blue sky. 

 

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky"
