The sunlight was so bright yesterday morning that I had to pull the blind down to be able to work. But I was unexpectedly distracted and mesmerised by the scene it created - the flying and flitting silhouettes of sparrows (there's a birdfeeder on the other side of the window.) It's often the simplest things that I find the most charming - couldn't resist a clumsy attempt to capture their movements in a video.
Art?
Yes. Why not?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's art to me anyway! I wish I could play it in slow motion.
DeleteVery Hitchcockian.
DeleteI love the birds.... I don't love The Birds!
DeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit like having some kind of screen projection installation going on in my workspace.
DeleteAbsolutely yes. In slow motion and on an infinite loop, I could watch it for hours.
ReplyDeleteAh, I feel the same - If I had the technological know-how and talent I'd do just that. There's something quite hypnotic about birds in flight, but I also like the way each bird's movement is slightly different.

DeleteThanks Martin, might have to give that a go!
DeleteHow true is that.
ReplyDeleteThere are two answers to your question and I'm torn between them.
ReplyDelete1) Yes, of course.
2) No, it's better, because it's real.
Life imitating art imitating life?
DeleteArt is where you find it. Special moments included.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Anon. Yes, I'll go for that!
DeleteLoved this clip when I first saw it last week but wasn't logged in as me so was going to return to it and forgot! Sorry.
ReplyDeletea) Yes of course it is
b) As per Harry Potter, those birds seem to live in Diagon Alley!
Thanks Alyson - and no need to apologise! I must be one of the only people on earth not to have read nor seen Harry Potter (at least not in full)... I know, I know... something I should address. And now completely intrigued by your Diagon Alley reference!
