She says, "I am content when wakened birds,
Before they fly, test the reality
Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings;
But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields
Return no more, where then, is paradise?"
From Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens, stanza IV, Lines 46-50

Beautiful Kathie.
Beautiful sunset with the man and birds silouetted. Yes, without birds and warm fields, our paradise would be sadly lacking.
The sky is so beautiful. The photo so nicely composed. Excellent!
Kathie...
wonderful photo...so peaceful
Wonderful irridenscent reflection, it looks like you have set your camera down just to take it all in.
Wow, awesome colors in the skywatcher photo! I've been looking around at your site, and must say you sure have a lot of beautiful bird photos here.
He did a great job. Is that you concentrating on the bird shoot?
A great sky and reflections.
Ah, great! For some reason I really like photos of birders doing their thing. The silhouette is great, I love this shot!
Where, indeed. This is a wonderful excerpt from the Connecticut poet and a very wonderful photo. Thanks, Kathie.
I love this photo...very clever, but more than that...it's so beautiful:)
Beautiful colors and silohuet. I need birds to make paradise.
beautiful skywatch with birds! I love that people actually go bird watching. It's like taking time out to smell the roses. Your owl is really something.
This is such a lovely picture and poem, Kathie!
What a perfect place in the world for a birder to be. You have the best of all elements here.
Hi Kathie
This is a great view... and the words fit it perfectly.. :O)
Thank you for your nice comment on mine.

I'm glad you had the bright river (or whatever it is) in the foreground. It makes all the difference to me (and the silhouetted photographer)
Kathie: A neat photo and an interesting saying.
Lovely photo, Kathie. The words are oh-so-true for our time, and that's scary. Let's hope we're changing our ways enough, and in enough time.
This couldn't be more perfect.
What a great shot - captures the moment so perfectly. Beautiful sky too.
The photo is beautiful and you picked just the right poetry to accompany it. Magnif!
And I did enlarge that wonderful photo. IT IS BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The silohuettes...ahhh.
Beautiful post. If I were the photographer in the picture, I would want the picture and words framed on the wall.
I think this quote will now be one of my favorites! The photo goes perfectly!
Awesome catch ... and someone with a biiiiig glass! :)
Cheers, Klaus
Love the silhouette and perspective:)
