Since I am burned out on our continuing snowy, frigid weather, I am going to revisit a lovely time in Betws-y-Coed, Wales. These captivating metal-sculptured crows caught my eye at a village square, because they have such personality.

I took them on a trip to Deep Dream Generator and Topaz Studio to add some pizazz.

Thanks to all for taking the time to look - I appreciate all of your kind comments!

Many thanks for all the views and comments. Unfortunately due to an illness in my family I can only dip in an out of Flickr at the moment, so cant keep up with everyones posts, but it it provides a much welcomed escape😁

This American Crow had been pestering some Canada Geese along the edge of a pond. When the geese tired of the game they chased it into a small bush. The Crow kept an eye on the noisy geese and finally left.

Two crows on a street light in Niagara Falls in November.

Processed with Topaz Studio 2 Impressions - Liquid Lines lll at 85% opacity.

Taken on the same morning as Dawn Turbine - this one looking towards the emerging Sun as I was walking back, a lone Crow landed overlooking (or to spy on?) my home....

A typical November scene.

From my archives taken on a sunny day at noon. Zoom for best view. Crows are my nemesis and I hope to spend time this spring and summer getting a closer view.

Happy Texture Tuesday. Have a lovely day:)

Wrona siwa (Corvus cornix) stojąca na (głównie) trawiastej ziemi.

Way yonder a tired horseman on a tired horse is moving

through the shreds of mists. Out of another age he comes,

a quartermaster, a silent herald of miserable war to

come.

There is always something sad about a lone horseman

from another age moving through the mists, especially

at dusk.

No matter where you are and you point at the crow, he knows your looking at him. He just knows.

Local estimates put the bird count on Crows in excess of 500,000 just in our small area. We have lots of Crows!

There were no other puddles around... and in this puddle, three little crow fledgings were dancing and bathing unabated...
