this is a picture I did not take

of hundreds of birds in trees just outside the hospital entrance. hundreds. and the pop and flutter of wings, staccato-like songs bouncing off evergreen branches onto concrete walls. for a second, there was nothing else. nothing but that swarm of birds and the sound of hospital doors opening and closing. for a second, everything else fell away.

(forever inspired)

unbelievable. it is like painting photographs with imagination and makes me stop for a moment and realize that i should pay more attention to the small things that i don't take photographs of.

love it!
