Crows & Ravens


Three Crows, on a roof after the heavy Rains this evening.

I can't tell if it's the dark Roof tiles, the cloudy, rainy evening skyline or just the shadow like figures of these birds,but the scene was just perfect to look at.

I had to make a video, it reminded me of the horror movie (Omen) 1976. First watched the Omen movies probably in 1986 ,but the scene where Damien's evil Crow, attacks a lady and gouged her eyes out, then watch as she gets crushed by a truck, is still somehow ingrained in ones memory many, decades after.



Never been a superstitious person but some birds and animals have caught a horrible reputation, no thanks to  folklore and Hollywood,from Cats to Owls,Bats to  Raven and Crows  many folks have an uneasy /spooky feeling on seeing these creatures.




Thankfully from watching so many,many documentaries. The amazing wildlife and nature documentarian Sir David Attenborough, has shown how Crows  & Ravens are arguably amongst the most intelligent avians. These birds have proven and outstanding problem solving abilities.

I believe that in going forward, it does demands a good reflection backwards also, like the famous quote from the late Steve Jobs of Apple    “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future"   The interesting thing that life and faith in God has taught me is that this " SOMEHOW" is not a thing of chance or luck.  It's simple God's hand at work.  Every steps he has ordered, even when I take them without k

Decades later we get the opportunity to hear the back story,the work,the walk,the raise & falls of stardom. The journey for most is crazy. So many fell off,some lost it completely,some made it then eventually los
