Grey

It was neither sunny nor warm today but since it wasn't actually raining I decided to take a much needed walk.  It was, in fact, so dark this morning that I had to set my ISO to 1600 which means I can't really crop the photos.  So while there are birds in each of these photos the images are really about the branches and the colors.  If you walk out into a day like today, to say, go to your car, you may be struck by how incredibly dull and grey it is.  In fact, if you look out the window it seems even worse.  And if you do this for several days you may be on the verge of running away to some place with sunshine.  However, if you actually get out and walk through the woods with your camera you will see that the grey world is full of beautiful color.  And you will be glad that the song and field sparrows made you take photos of the branches and grasses.  And you will be very happy to look back on these photos from a sunny day and admire how smart you were not to let the endless, horrible, grey prevent you from enjoying life...very much.  If, in fact, such a day ever occurs again...
