"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise"
(McCartney, with Harrison; from the album "The Beatles" (a.k.a. White Album), 1968)

this song has very sparse lyrics. it is not one of my favourite beatles song, still i like the catchy tune, typical of paul mccartney's songwriting style.
i caught the blackbird's pic during lunchtime. i don't know what i do with my camera but sometimes it just takes humongous - like 7MB - pictures.
it was foggy in the morning in toronto, then when it lifted at lunchtime, i got upset hearing loud engine noises. turned out there was an airshow going on! whew! then it was unbelievably hot in the afternoon. i was supposed to walk the 20 minutes or so walk down beside the CN tower to take a picture of the blue jays way but that didn't materialize. so, @altadc, "black bird" it is for today!
methinks this 'beatles' challenge is going to be stressful :-). processed in picnik
fabulous processing -- love the green -- really makes a bold contrast against the black! So don't stress yourself out -- a creative challenge is one thing, stress is another and not worth it! So, make it fun -- or just go with songs! Your fans will love it -- you know we will!!!
@danig - thanks, DG. i love this song, but when i was still a young warthog and playing this on the guitar, somehow the strings always managed to break and several times almost blinded me. :-)
@bkbinthecity - i probably won't get too stressed, unlike last month's challenge. i think i know most of the lyrics of the songs of the beatles, so all i need do is take the appropriate photo. thanks.
@sunnygreenwood - thank you, anne. sometimes i think i should concentrate on taking photos, but then again if i can do that with something else that's fun, why not?
@ilseal - wow, i would've loved to hear you sing, ilse. you do play an instrument, don't you? i think a flute or a jazz trumpet. i'd imagine you have a jazzy voice. thank you, ms. ilse.
really, my "fans"??? you are so sweet!
@catsmeowb - thanks, camille.
@netkonnexion - thank you muchly.
