Pigeons are sitting at the tree. And looks around. It is already spring. Warm. And it is already good to sit and warm under the sun. So, it is two birds are sitting at the tree. Almost like in a forest. But it is in city.
Pigeon is sitting here and singing its songs. And they tell their stories. It is a talking of two birds. Rare photoshoot, as I can say. But, anyway, these birds are speaking a lot. They are very good and kind and like to speak. And I become their friend, I can say. And take a part into their talk.
Beautiful white grid. Maybe, special for spring someone paint it. It is, maybe, a special place for birds. It is so comfortable to fly to this place and sit here.
Birds are feeling good – fly high, sit and watch. Nobody will touch you. You are warming under the sun. And looks around. Rotate your head – and see everything. They are moving their heads very fast. You cannot to detect them. And head it is already watch into another direction, in a next moment. It is instantaneous about to rotate a head. And I was very surprised into these birds about this moment about fast rotation of the head. How they can do it. And they usually walk slowly. Or run a little. Not fast. It is so funny. With a little of jumping. Or not fast to run.
And I have a feeling that their head is rotation into any direction easily. And they have a full angle of observation. So little bird can see you! And it speaks – hello! And I wave a hand to him. And I do answer – hello! And they look at me with a surprise! Hello!
grape hyacinths are one of my favorite spring ephemerals. not only are they adorable, but the flowers can be used for making syrup that tastes faintly and sweetly of grapes.
and if that’s not your thing, they can also be used for making color-changing ink. the initial ink might look purple in color, but as it hits the paper and begins to dry it will turn blue. and if you add an acid, it will turn pink. and if you add a basic it will turn green (you can do this with the syrup, too!)
this happens because of naturally-occurring pigments called anthocyanins – the same pigments found in purple cabbage, violets, and blueberries!
