Birds on a wire #3

Every now and then I have to photograph birds on a wire. This photo I came across yesterday on my walk. Yes I'm trying to get back into my walking schedule, maybe it will help my knee heal faster.

This was made using the infered camera. I have a habit of  photographing this, you can see previous attempts here and here. I always have that song running through my head.

#3. I am thankful for birds, the joy they bring with their songs and their beautiful colors.

Birds on a wire #2

 

One of my favorite's, Leonard Cohen, supplied the title to today's post. Though he was writing about being free, the photo is not. In fact, I've used the title twice, back in April of 2009 I posted another photo of birds on overhead lines.

Every now and then one of the birds would change power lines, I guess she's just looking to be free.

Birds on a Wire

Spring is here. Today is the first day it felt like spring. The sun was hot the sky was blue and the soil was warm. I was able to get some Yard work done between jobs. It’s nice to be busy but everything seems to happen at the same time.
Today’s image of birds on a wire is something I pass almost every day. These electric lines cross a highway I often travel. I thought the wires were a lot closer to an overpass that I photographed from. That and the fact that the day I stopped to make this image, there were few birds. I did like the composition with one bird sitting all alone on the second wire.
