Blackbird

 From my birding drive this evening, up in a very tall and old dead tree.





"Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

All your life

You have just been waiting for this moment to arrive."


Sir Paul McCartney

I always enjoy your changing backgrounds to fit the theme of your current post. This one was particularly fabulous, I think.

These are cool photos of the blackbird, Ginny, and you got one of him chirping away, singing his song. I don't see the blackbird here in the mountains. I loved hearing about your mountain town in the comment you sent this morning. We do live in similar places, don't we?

Have a blessed week, dear friend.

Awesome pictures, Ginny! So soulful. I love blackbirds. It was such a poignant moment in Johnny Depp's movie "Public Enemies" when he (as John Dillinger) was dying and whispered to the detective who had shot him, to tell his lady love, Billie Frechette: "Bye Bye, Blackbird" ... because that was what he called her. It probably didn't happen that way at all, but it was good cinema. Haaahahaha xoxo
