Blessing In Disguise

the good fortune
                           
                             of a snake in the sparrows nest
                                
                                   after the cuckoo has left

What is bad fortune for one is often good fortune for another - it's all in perspective - have a good day Maureen!

You nailed this one, my friend. Can't stop thinking about the picture you've painted. One of the best 'lite-kus' --how's that for an appellation?--I've seen in a long time. Kudos. :) gw

I witnessed a snake stealing an egg from a nest years ago, the image I found to be profoundly beautiful, it has stayed with me... the rich hues of the nest and the underbrush with the cool blues of the eggs and the snake, front row seat to nature in motion. I'm so glad you like this one :) xomo!
