Spring pause

Category: Birds

Its head still wet from a spring rain, this sparrow seems to pause like a monk in the humid air.

Rather angelic? Angel with a bird mask on …

That is lovely - ‘Angel with a bird mask’. These images lend themselves so wonderfully to poetry, and vice versa . . . .

I love her little wet cap.

Angels always seem to have bird wings. The wet head is her fashion statement.

The picture could be called Spring Applause as it seems the bird is watching and applauding.

It would make a good xmas tree top ornament — with spiked head feathers like Ryan Seacrest’s hair.

What is the sound of one wing clapping, “Mr. Onia”? And William, you’ll have to catch her first for your tree.

My guess would be the sound of the other wing if the “one wing” hit it. Otherwise, there could be no clapping, just silent waving.
