I am joining Sally today at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ for Blue Monday. Please go over and visit her to see all the other wonderful Blue Monday posts.
Driving to and fro here recently there have been enormous amounts of birds in migration. At times the flocks nearly fill the visible sky.
This weekend we saw some resting in the Blue water along the way.
And when I say some, I mean a lot!
When they are in flight and the sky is lined as far as the eye can see
you feel as if there is something ominous just over the horizon
and you are the only thing that does not know the danger ahead.
You are pushing forward as they are escaping in the other direction, flapping their wings with determination and desperation as if to say...
flee now, flee now!
Ha! Of course it is winter just over the horizon and no matter how brutal it may be I have to thank my lucky stars...
I am not a bird!

They're all coming to my backyard--in Florida!
Happy Blue Monday!
I know this is the time of year for the mass flights.
Great capture. Happy Blue Monday.
Beautiful photos. I can remember as a kid, hundreds of birds would land in our trees in the backyard and it was eerie!
it is a wondrous sight, to see so many of them together
Hi, Valerie,
You took some wonderful pictures of your countryside there. Amazing how many birds are resting there on the water. I love to see birds as they are migrating south. We don't seem to see that as much here in Texas, but I saw quite a few flocks when I recently visited my son and his family in NM. Have the best of weeks, dear friend~ love always~ Vicki
Oh wow that's a lot! Love it!
