The birds at my window

There is a whole other world happening, right in front of our eyes. Most of us forget it is even there, except for occasional encounters. We seem to idle by, while it's occupants busy themselves with singing, foraging and other important matters.  It continues to fascinate artists from around the world. This series of drawings relate just a few stories; Fact and fiction mix freely.

“You know then that it is not the reason
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.”

-Wallace Stevens

Inspired by Annie Dillard's reflections on the tree with the lights in it...
