Birds in our Paradise

erste Schwalben -
hinterlasse Dekorationen
auf dem Dach






first swallows -
my roof turned canvas
for modern art


I did very similar "decorations" with ink dripping down from the pot held above the door many many many years ago. This spring the birds remind me of natural droppings and drippings. Thank you, swallows!

Today we have the sad happy ending to this story.
A strong rain over night has taken care of the art and left only the roof.
