Black is night, shadows, silhouettes, a midnight cat. Black is Halloween and shiny shoes. Black is plastic and metal, all pervading in the modern world. Black is a soft coat to be patted and the deep dark forest to be explored. Black is sleep.

Scary Black.
Seriously scary black. Evil Ballarat Black Swans, these guys will hunt you down, I kid you not.
Linking up with Sister Sun's colour meme delving into the world of black.
Love the skeleton costume.
ReplyDeletesinging "them bones" in a school performance - too cute
DeleteWow what a great swan picture. Hope you didn't have to pay the price for taking it.
ReplyDeletethere may have been some running involved (that would be me running- very quickly)
DeleteA lot of very impressive photos! Loved the video clips too :-)
ReplyDeletenot quite the original brief but it's amazing how music shapes us.
DeleteUnfortunately I can't watch any of the clips at the moment, but I do love your words, sounds like a poem to me.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that there were 'evil' swans :)

Thanks Lilli, very kind words from a wonderful poet. I think beauty must have its price. Swans do some sort of nasty deal to shed their ugly duckling feathers.
DeleteFabulous photos! That swan is gorgeous, but does look like he's just about ready to strike!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's got that glare from the corner of his eye "you're pissing me off" look.
DeletePaint it Black = great song! plus all the others. You're very clever, I hadn't thought of many black things at all.
ReplyDeleteThe evil black swan looks very much like the evil geese living on a lake near us! I was trapped by them one day when I made the mistake of taking some bread to feed them!
