Regarding Baby Birds...

...so rare...and so fine.
...if you've ever held a baby bird you know that you have to cup its whole body in one hand, letting it breathe, while stroking its chest quietly and safely with one light touch from the other hand...the difference between clutching something and holding something is the manner in which safety / a nest is implied and provided, or not.

Chloe is, among other things, an arteeeeeeeest with a steady hand, a sweet heart, an eye for the bold the baubled and the bespeckled, not to mention a nose for apple crisp aprons and toast...themes include: birds, owls, roosters and long, long lashes...

Chloe has been reading this lil' blog here since its inception and has provided sincere, heartfelt feedback (and praise...) during times when I thought I was just writing and posting into the wind...

I really appreciate the artistic use in lighting this photo. It looks as if it is softly touching your subject, like a baby bird.

steady hand not.
(the shakes - i has them)
(also much luff for you)
