Bird's Eye View

 

This drawing has no deep meaning really. I simply saw some birds on a wire the other day, and the image stuck with me. They are so darn cute! And I suppose I am a bit jealous of them at times. Their lives seem so simple. They just flutter about, landing where they please. Heck, they even relieve themselves wherever they please (including my hair...long story.) Not only are they free spirits, but they are also generous little folks, regurgitating their grub for the little ones in the community. How sweet. And, did I mention how environmentally friendly they are?! Spreading seeds to ensure saplings for their future generations. Wow. But, the thing that REALLY gets me is their mode of transportation. When was the last time you flapped your arms around and took flight across town? Some of us have to WALK for a living. Darn birds. Anyways, I felt it necessary to transport the image from my brain onto paper. I had to get it out of my head. The jealousy was beginning to consume me. Not good. Drawing and easing my conscience all at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone, if you may. (Sorry...I couldn't resist.)
