Happily married singer, songwriter, guitar player, and birder. I take a lot of pictures, but I'm not really a photographer. A few things I believe in: Peace, music, birds, love, and myself. Please, no DM'S
Thanks for stopping by!
Peace.......period.

We reduce our lives to material and social goals that have very little meaning: "I am convinced that if people truly knew they were going to die, they would invite us to their homes to eat. They would talk to strangers, open their doors to foreigners, and share words and food with them." ✨️ By Bobin.

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: a starling shaking off water after a bath.

Some action within a starling murmuration, Shapwick Heath, Somerset Levels this week. Hundreds of thousands of birds do a warm up routine above their selected roosting site before plunging down in to the reed beds for the night @mybirdcards.com @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @exmoor.bsky.social
