Hello dear watchers,

Just to tell you that I will be inactive for about 2 weeks. Easter  is drawing near and I want to spend more time with my family and also allowing more of my  time to the Pascha celebration. I needed a  break from the computer (long overdue) and want to concentrate on other things as well. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you one and all for your ongoing friendship, support and encouragement in my works.  Its all of these things that I appreciate and hold dear to me. Take care and be good to yourselves!





~Beaks and Feathers Features~


I've wanted to do a journal on birds for a long time. Well, here it is now. You will see very interesting photographs,  artwork, poems pertaining to our feathered  friends, be they small or big. Well, you know,  I am not big on writing long journals since I do not like reading long texts on the computer screen so I won't impose a long journal entry upon you either.  So here is my collection, please take some time to visit their galleries and give some words of encouragement  to them and if you could make some that will be awesome. Keep safe, be kind to yourselves and I hope these features give you all bucketloads of inspiration!















































































The Black Bird The black bird came raveshing the sky
through clouds he went, gathering small tears of rain The Waiting Raven   The raven watched in silence,
 waiting
 in silence like the desolated dead tree beneath him
 in quietude like all things should
 waiting
 for his brothers
 waiting
 for the calling of the wild moon
 


Bird Bird so pretty and Oh so sweet
You have no idea of my jealousy
How I long to look to see
What it's like to be free
To fly away
From all this pain
Just to be once again

But little bird don't you fret
Because really I'm not worth all that
You just smile and fly away
I'll find a way to deal with pain

All these scars on my skin
Are nothing compared to the pain within
All these tears run down my cheeks
But don't you ever worry about me

Bird just fly, just fly away
I'm sorry I caught you for my troubles
Don't let them weigh you down
I'll carry enough for us both

Maybe someday if I ask you kind
You could sing me a lullaby
So I c


Caged bird I am a little bird, but how
      Can not find my wings to flee?
I'm as caged as a bird could be.

Alone I wish to soar high sky
      to a place I'm forever free.
I am a little bird, but how

Have all my dreams gone so awry?
       It's hard to fathom I can see
I'm as caged as a bird could be.

Between these iron bars I try
       as I hopelessly crave the key.
I'm a little bird, but how

I say that I'm happy, a lie
       It's not the way I wish to sing.
I'm as caged as a bird could be.

Who else could have this fate but me
       For alone in my cage I cry
I am a little bird, but how
I'm as caged as a bird could be.
