This is for all of you who love ravens as much as I do. This field was full of them last week as were the trees, my camera could not take in all of them, but this give you an idea of how many there were.
teri had the same thought I did when I saw the picture! Sadly, I only remember Edgar Allen Poe's use of Ravens...not the best association. Now Magpies, I like!
Are you sure they are ravens? I can't quite tell from the perspective of the photo, but they look smaller, like crows.
We have a raven that visits our water feeder. It likes to bring food there and dip it into the water. My Mom thinks it's my Dad visiting. I don't know about that, but the bird is striking and awfully smart.
Teri-Great image! Kj-Yes, many of us are raven lovers. Whitemist, Shattered-Ravens are wonderful birds, do a ibt of research and you will see :-). Angela, Melanie, Suzanne, Renee-You are my raven sisters. Sorry you don't feel well Renee :-( xoxo Kisten-Yes, they are ravens, it is the camera that does not show how huge they really are :-). LPN-Happy to see you here :-).
I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.

I like this shot, how the ravens look like musical notes on a page, up and down and up and down.

I must admit that because of Poe, I'm not crazy about ravens! However, it is a beautiful picture. :)
I adore ravens. Our dog, Beau, tries to chase them as they fly overhead. (Silly boy.) Thanks for the photos!
xo
Wonderful. As you know I am a fan too. Such clever birds. I like the legend of Raven's pot starting the world.
I love ravens -- shiny, beautiful, so intelligent. What a treat!
I didn't know you loved ravens Annie.
I do too.
Oh Annie, I have been sick as a dog. Constantly wretching, but nothing comes out. Oh well.
But today is a new day darling.
Love Renee xoxoxo
