Today's photoshop rambling, birds ... again!

I'm at it again ... I have bird brain lately...I mean birds are always on my mind!  I suppose ever since my Mom passed away, birds have been a huge part of my life.  When it was Mom's time to leave this Earth, my Sister and I were at her home in Michigan.  It had been a tough year with 12 trips back and forth from Arizona to Michigan as she battled for her life, but on this last trip, we somehow knew we would not be back again.   On Christmas Eve Day, 2009, at 4:00 a.m.,  both my Sister and I were somewhat awake.  We both heard the flutter of wings and what sounded like the cooing of a bird but it was the most beautiful noise we had ever heard.   The sound was a "whoosh" and a "coo" if I had to explain it in understandable terms and the sound was right in the room.  We looked at each other and said "what was that" and at the same moment, we realized it was Mom.  At 4:05 a.m. Hospice called and said Mom had just passed away.  So, I guess the thought of God taking care of the birds of the air and the sound we heard when Mom left this Earth have created a bond between birds and me that never existed before.   Hence, last night's photoshop rambling has to do with birds...again!  The words are an old Chinese Proverb.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and most of all, I hope you have a song!  xoxo
