Swarming starlings like to congregate just inland from my beach, frequenting the harvested cotton and peanut fields. They are easily spooked by passing cars and en mass, rise like a black curtain – a Hitchcock-like shadow of birds:
The birds darken our skies every November. But today, happy spring shadows bring blossoms of new life and colorful promise, yielding fresh hope and energy!
Thank You, dear God, for bright, new life springing from darkness …for the hope You provide that carries us out of the shadows of loneliness and near-death, and rocketing us forth into a fresh cycle of light, connection, hope and renewal.
Thank You for being on each and every walk with me – and for my bloggy buddies, too – through every season, storm, shadow and silver lining.
God, You rock!!
When I saw your first photo, I immediately thought of Hitchcock’s movie ‘The Birds’ too. That’s a LOT of birds!!
Impossible to even try to count! Thank you, Ms. Mary!

I can’t help but wonder what damage those birds are doing to the fields, but, yes, The Birds by Hitchcock. I’d think that every darn time I see them. I, too, rejoice at the first flowers of spring. And great shadow shot at the end there!
Those birds are amazing to watch! Thank you, Mrs. Betsy, had an extra Spring in my step on my morning walk today. Enjoy your weekend!
