Photo-Heart Connection: September

Recently visiting the big city of Toronto in Canada

full of amazing skyscrapers

and swirling highways...

the sight of this astonishing and delightful bird gathering on a crane

when the sun was setting

stopped me in my tracks!

Seeing these dozens and dozens of small winged creatures

coming together in masses at the end of the day,

not on tree-tops, but on the even higher cranes towering above

building sites of even more skyscrapers to come!

From time to time, when there was a brief lull in the incessant background noise of traffic,

I could hear the birds chirping and singing!

There was instant connection to the birds

connection to that moment

so unexpected

so beautiful!

What a lovely life lesson these birds represent.

Whatever the circumstances, 

we can adapt as best we can

we can chose to mope in a corner

or we can choose to sing!

In my town environment with no view...

which one do I choose to do?

Well, the sun is shining outside as I write these words,

so I think I'll go out and walk where I can see greenery and trees

and I might just sing!

I would like to include the context where this photo was taken below.

Click on the picture to enlarge it and see  all those tiny birds lined up

just everywhere!

When I step back, I see the bigger picture

and this one gives me a sunset!
