A vision in front of our window.Is it a vision of a bird of ill omen ?
For me, just a crow.
At most, maybe, it could remind me some S.King 's novels. . . . the Great Hitchcock
or a Spanish proverb "cria cuervos, y te arrancaran los ojos" which means : "Raise ravens, and they'll pluck out your eyes!" , Spanish always use really pictorial language, but, at least, it"s absolutly understandable.

His home-nest is in the tree underneath the roofs.
If you want to learn more about birds, or Nature, even Skies, go and see Tom's blog :
Welcome to Wiggers World, as its name suggests it, Tom and Jane, hosts Sky Watchers each friday. Go and join the team.
That's a really pretty composition. Love the silhouette.
RépondreSupprimernice one for SWF! Happy weekend! Mine's up too hope you can drop by.
RépondreSupprimerI love the commentary with your photo. I guess he rose up from the trees for a better view. I like that Spanish proverb, too. There's no misunderstanding the meaning with that kind of language.
RépondreSupprimerFabulous photo and for me it's just a crow too. That's a good thing because we have a lot of crows around here because of the corn fields. ~ Lynn
RépondreSupprimerGreat shot of the crow!
RépondreSupprimerMy SWF picture is posted HERE.
Hope you could drop by, too! Thanks!
Oh the music made this a scary picture!!
RépondreSupprimerAn interesting Sky Watch photo. I applaud you for not being superstitious about the Crow being a bird of ill-omen. Although, the Spanish proverb is a bit unsettling.
RépondreSupprimerIt's true they look a little "hitchcocklike" and the grey sky doesn't help, lol !
RépondreSupprimerA very nice silhouette - no birds - no summer!

I'm back ...
RépondreSupprimerOh no, cried blog world ... he's back!
But guess what, I'm so happy. If I didn´t rejoin SWF I would never have the chance to see this great photo!
It could be a more modern "Weather vane"! But is is nice anyway:)
RépondreSupprimerPetunia's SWF
Excellent shot.... there much said against Crows and other black feathered birds, but I have always had a fondness for them..
RépondreSupprimerPretty silhouette with the bird and the antenna.
RépondreSupprimerGreat photo, I like it very much!
Happy SwF. The crow is ok. We have one the same here that hops on our street light.
RépondreSupprimerHave a good weekend.
I keep meaning to do this... Do you have to post a picture from a Friday, like today's picture is taken from today? Or could I post a picture I took on May 17, 2005 and be okay? Just curious, because it looks like fun.
RépondreSupprimeri agree with gattina. it looks like a scene from Hitchcock's move The Birds
RépondreSupprimerIt is atavistic really, isn't it - all the woe we put on animals' headsand they are just goin about their business.
RépondreSupprimerNice picture though.
Interesting shot.
RépondreSupprimerWishing you a great Sky Watch Friday!
nice
RépondreSupprimerIt's very dramatic, and it does look a little ominous... :) Great photo!
RépondreSupprimerTrès bonne composition chère Catherine! Je suis d’accord avec les autres commentateurs. C’est comme une scène du film “The Birds” de Hitchcock!
RépondreSupprimerJe vous souhaite un joyeux week-end avec votre famille,
Amitiés,
My neighbors have lots of birds on their roof ALL THE TIME...course they have about 20 bird feeders in their yard! Loved the Spanish quote...VERY colorful language.
RépondreSupprimerPax Christi, EJT
nice shoot
RépondreSupprimer:)!!
RépondreSupprimerGreat captures for sky watch!
RépondreSupprimerHave a nice weekend.
Catherine, the photo was taken in Bardonecchia in april: it was cold and windy!
RépondreSupprimerBirds are an omen here too, but crows and ravens mean the area they are in is nearly perfect and to their liking. It could only be a good place as they are very particular animals about their habitat. They eat things they eat, for example, because they are great opportunists and will often steal coins, rings, watches and shiny objects because they like the reflections and colors. Any animal who likes gold can't be bad. LOL
RépondreSupprimerThanks to you and others, I have fun trying to post things that may surprise some visitors; make others laugh a bit, but most of all make lots of people aware of things that might not know much about.
When somebody actually takes the time to write a comment on my blogs, about my work and what I do, that to me is the biggest gift a person can give another. It is like a smile on greeting; it is a welcome handshake, and it gives me and my family some hope that the funny farm is still in the future on down the road.
You, yourself, are an inspiration to me.
Such beautiful photography of beautiful things, like a sunset, or a bird, flower or fish, they are like magic to see. Wow. It is impressive indeed.
I come back to say, "thanks for visiting and leaving a comment" but a special thanks for taking the time to photograph interesting things of great beauty. Without that, blogging would be about as exciting as trying to scratch an itch in the right place at the wrong time.
So, thanks for stopping at my blog. And I hope you know, by now, that when you do, I will always try to visit your blog, in return, and leave a comment. I do read what people write and your excellent photography got my attention.
Sincerely,
Abraham Lincoln

You know that although this picture does bring to mind Hitchcock and shivers, I really do like crows - they are so clever!
RépondreSupprimerIt´s just a lonely crow that wanted to see football from TV.
RépondreSupprimerI am reminded of The Vile Village in a Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. The village was chocked full of crows, and the villagers nearly worshiped them.
RépondreSupprimerAs I can't answer in your blog, I'll do here. Yes, Matteo you're right! The immense tree at the center of the village with crows on it. I've also read these stories of the Baudelaire Orphans. Thanks to remind me.
