Stephanie . . .thanks for your comments, I take any comments as they come, good,

bad, or indifferent, I'd just add that The wings of solitude is only the title of the

photograph, and in no way reflects my age, or current state of physical, or

mental wellbeing, and you are right, it is a nice photograph.   William.

Dear me Stephanie, coming down to personal insults again...

There are in fact different types of solitude, perhaps solitude from people could be an interpretation. Nice Image William.

I never realised that posting a photograph would cause such mayhem !

but I have been insulted by experts in the past, so I can take it.

Another slightly well known Irishman, Oscar Wilde, once stated ' there is only

one thing worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about'

William

 

Unfortunately the occasionally impetuous Oscar understood solitude only too well, unjustly in Reading and wretchedly during his last days in Paris. Your bird, however, embodies an aura of freedom as it pauses for a moment to rest and prepare for the next journey onward and upward. Skilfully caught [on camera] I thought.

yes a nice image - a morsel of trivia - indeed there are solitary birds - the cassowary and the kiwi, the Crowned Solitary Eagle and the Bald Headed Eagle, Tweety and the Northern Bobwhite, to name a few. Avian biology has never had it so good. As we are told, it is traditionally valuable for poets to know flowers, birds and the names of the chiaroscuro of emotions.

May your flights last well through day and night William :))

Thanks to everyone regarding this photograph, I think I can safely

say . . . 'this bird has flown' this Yellow Faced Honeyeater.   william.
