Sentiments of Birds
Birds are elusive and fleeting animals, symbolic of freedom, hope, spirit, transition, and new opportunities. They are small avian creatures that fly from place to place and never stay long.
Because birds tend to stay in motion, they are spiritually known to be carriers of divine messages and represent ones intuition and higher consciousness.
Encounters with birds often symbolize that the beholder is on the right path in their journey.
During a hot summer day, these two birds were perched atop a gazebo in the center of a park, perhaps resting from the heat.
Did they fly in together? Would they fly away at the same time? How stable are relationships among creatures that disappear on a whim?
Birds travel together in groups above the clouds, scattered or in formation, resting on city powerlines, in order or disarray.

Although, often, single birds stray away to sleep on a branch or hop through grassy fields alone, they exude free will.
They are bound by no rules or set ways. They merely exist on instinct, to linger or to go, the choice is theirs alone.
Views from the sky, seen from a bird, a perspective humans could never truly know.
The photograph ensues a feeling of openness and vastness through the open sky, occupied only by tall protruding buildings and the beauty of nature itself.
The tiny dots on the powerline in the photograph are small, scattered birds relaxing from a day of flight, surrounded by trees and other plants.
Will these birds return here again? If I look up at these powerlines on a different day, will the same bird be perched atop the same line?
This series of photos captures more than a moment. It leaves a sense of companionship, vastness, and freedom to wander and return, just as the birds naturally do.
