“The Calligraphy of Crows”

2 February 2023 – I rarely do this, but today I want to encourage you to visit this post…

by this woman, June Hunter, — the photographer/artist/urban nature enthusiast/crow groupie who also has this web page for her work:

Why am I urging this on you? Because her posts in general, and this one in particular, celebrate photography, creativity, lyricism, urban nature and our urban dance with the natural world — and, oh yes absolutely, her fascination with crows.

Consider this early sentence in today’s post, describing that “calligraphy,” which is further supported by her B&W photographs: “Their inky brush strokes are never more distinct than when scrawled across the blank parchment of a pale grey Vancouver winter sky.”

Go catch yourself a few inky brush strokes.

  • WALKING… & SEEING

    "Traveller, there is no path. Paths are made by walking" -- Antonio Machado (1875-1939)

    "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" -- Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

    "A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities" -- Rebecca Solnit, "Wanderlust: A History of Walking"
