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.
It’s a question of perspective: the stork looks down and I look up to him.
And it even looks down on tall towers, water towers, and
church spires, and
artisans’ trees.
Or real trees.
Looking up, it’s more than one bird,
yet the single one stands out
even as it settles down.

I saw this stork stalking through the cut off wheat stalks (oh my!) and grabbed my camera. If I noticed the two spots in the back to the left of him, I didn’t give them a second thought.
I got closer. Magnificent bird, I thought, totally focused on the stork.
I zoomed in. What a wonderful bird!
Only at home, when I had transferred the photos to my computer and saw them on the larger screen, I realised that those brown, indistinct lumps had ears.
