The swallows series is currently floating somewhere out here in a blown out bluish world of towering clouds and little detail.
After much time spent experimenting with photoshop and printing, walking the aisles of art shows and talking to other artists, the cool abstract mostly-white field as an indicator of flight is beginning to appeal.
Shots that, in earlier incarnations were grainy black and white images –
Have become somewhat amorphous hints at sky / clouds / bird.
Even the shots of endless sky and cloud, rich in black and white contrast – 
Have become airy, ephemeral, feathery blue images –
I’m starting to get itchy to get out and see some of that sky for myself…
Yay spring!

Can’t help but love this series. Something so tiny against something so large, so intimidating, is visual poetry.
🙂 Thanks John. I’m a sucker for it too.
Have a whole bunch of seagull shots I’ve been collecting for you – funny ones of The Flock and stuff – but I haven’t managed to write a post to go with them…
Such great skies, get out there and capture more pls 🙂
On my way!! Packing my bags now…. 🙂
The swallows look so tiny in the enormity of the sky and billowing clouds.
Wee things, they are…
You know I love ’em clouds and skies… une invitation au voyage… and to dream big dreams like walking the camino and turning over pebbles and drinking clear water from fountains that travelers drank from since time out of mind.
Just stoking the fire. 😉
Oh oh oh…. what a way to stoke the fire!!! Delicious. I can taste the clear water and feel the grit on the pebbles – you have me right there in the scene…. I’ve been meaning to write you on that subject – in fact will do so now 🙂
Love these:).
Thank you! 🙂
you are so welcome:)

Love the take on this one, Kat. The first is my favorite, but then… that changes as I look. I could watch clouds all day, but I love what you’ve done with color and presentation here.
Thanks Dawn! I’m pretty excited about them… 🙂

What a wonderful, heart-warming flurry of comments from you, Sue, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some happy kind words.
The wordpress issues, I know – I’ve been trying to unsubscribe from all the blogs I can’t remember who they are, cause I keep losing track of my faves, my friends. 🙂
Happy spring time xxx
Wonderful series Kat and I too love the tiny swallows against the vast skies. Gorgeous skies!!
