Looking Up

My worst “looking up” moment with birds came many years ago when I saw 15 louries in the trees in our garden and I looked up and kept looking up and didn’t see where I was going and I fell in the pool, scraping my thigh which left me with a bruise that took literally years to go away. But it hasn’t cured me from looking up.

I’m a fan of cormorants

I know that cormorants can be become pests if they are too numerous and fishers don’t like them because they can decimate fish numbers quite rapidly. This is a lonely cormorant though, which I have never seen in company – if it is the same one. These photos were taken a year apart.

Aino’s template for the Värikollaasit / Colour Collage this week were these peppery colours:

and I played around.  This collage is too blue but I love the swan and his prominent beak:

I then took other beaks into the mix: swan, duck, goose, and stork:

And here I contrasted the softness of a painting with the starkness of a cartoon:

And I can’t make up my  mind which I like best.

If you want to have a look what others did with the pepper spice colour, have a look.
