swallows

another filler. Completely over-processed I know.

Disgusting day weather-wise, cold and rainy all day - not much fun. I think it is the first extended period of rain that we have had since the piglets were born. Their enclosures are beginning to look a bit like The Somme.

I spent some time sorting Sam's room out. He is getting rid of all of his old toys and has big plans for re-organising it and getting a new bed. Graham has been at the races in Windsor this afternoon on some work related jolly. He is being a bit cagey about how he got on. Put it this way, I don't think he is going to be retiring just yet......

i like this high key shot, it is like musical notes.

[☠northy]

like Bernadette, my first thought was musical notes... quite lovely and whimsical

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

How did you get this? Were they all together or have you amalgamated a series and compiled as one? I think it is amazing, can't capture swallows at all ever!!! To have six all in different stages of flight is fantastic. Fav

fav, Lovely shot

[Judith Greenwood]

Such lovely wings. I imagine Graham is just being cagey so he doesn't spoil the surprise when he buys you an enormous present with his winnings ;0)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful , and like the others I thought of music script -- with the notes flowing by !! Hope Graham will share his winnings with you or better still a fab pressie !!

[jenny tucker]

i love it -- -i thought "music notes", too!

[Emlar]

@lucypics I took it on the same day as this one http://365project.org/jantan/365/2013-08-22 There were about 60 or 70 of them on the telephone wires behind our house. Every few minutes they would take off and swirl around and then land again.

@northy @cookie123 Funnily enough I have got a series of photos of birds on these phone lines that I keep meaning to edit to look like musical staves, but have never got round to it. Maybe a project for another rainy day.

Fav! Love it!

[Anne Mary]

I like the overprocessing

[Kev]

Very creative and I like the high key feel.

[Paula Stuart]

I love this. The weather is hideous for us too, wild and windy. We actually had a better winter than we are having spring.

[Sue Richardson]

Love the high key and the subject. I also agree with everyone about it looking like musical notes.

[Lisa]

Beautiful - a musical score of swallows - love it! : ) fav

[carol white]

Lovely capture!!

[JH]

Popped by to add an original observation about it looking like a stave, but see one or two people might just have beaten me to it! V lovely though.

Sure Graham's preparing to break wonderful news about that 200-1 punt that came in against all the odds...

[Karen Mitchell]

Notes for sure... excellent...

Wow this is brilliant FAV

Fab shot, perfectly captured.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I thought it looked like musical notes too. It's a cool shot. Sometimes editing can completely change something but that's not a criticism at all. I love the way this turned out xx

[Hazel]

What can I say that hasn't been said - I love it too. Fav.

[Amrita]
