    Default Hope Is The Thing with Feathers

    I love this poem by Emily Dickinson and it makes me think of how much I love and receive sustenance from birds. I am in awe of them - their resilience, their instincts for survival, their myriad shapes and colors and their beauty. It is my hope that they will be able to walk on beaches free of oil, swim in waters free of plastic and other man-made poisons and that we will not destroy their mating and feeding grounds and their habitat and flyways so that they can grace us with their presence forever. I chose this high key image because it seemed to portray how fragile and resolute birds are.

    Cheryl, your introduction is well said and most likely expresses what many of us feel. Your pale, almost ethereal image, is perfect for the Emily Dickinson quote. Lovely.

    Love the high key image here. It reinforces the idea of the ephemeral nature of birds with regard to their fragility and migratory journeys. Nice!
