Whispering Wings...


With softest sigh of whispering wings, nestling in unexpected places, beauty expressed in the kind words and good deeds of mere mortals...





And speaking of kindness, Snaggletooth of the wonderful Exit Stage Right blog has given my blog this lovely award. Snaggletooth is a talented artist and if you haven't visited her blog before, please do as I know you'll enjoy it. She's a terrific photographer, poet, artist, and writer. Thank you, Snaggle. I'm honored.

Ooooo, am I possibly first???

I have seen that artful Snaggletooth character flitting about the blogosphere, nice unicorned gravatar she has. Even been to her blog once or twice. Seems like a super-fine sort of peep. :)

Congrats on the award. Will you make it into an angel and hang it among the others?

Bye for now
xo

Congratulations on your award, Talon! Snaggletooth made a very wise decision.

It's minus 34 degrees here right now, and the only time I didn't curse the bloody snow was when I saw the beautiful picture on your header.

Lynn said...

Breathtaking photos! An angelic angel.

Gypsy said...

I will try not to gush but I love your new header and I am always bowled over by an angel...I just love them.

Congrats on the award and well deserved too.

Meredith said...

Lovely angel, with her whispering wings, and you definitely deserve that award. Congratulations, Talon!

Snaggletooth has good taste, at the very least. (But I've been by her site a few times, and I think she has more than that.) :)

Meredith said...

Oh, and the header is so still and peaceful and full of some magic, just had to comment again to tell you your photo is a classic.

Sara said...

Talon -- Wow those shots are lovely! I like the first because I see the angel in it and it looks likes she's flying:~)

Congratulations on the award. It is well deserved!

JGH said...

Great shots -- capturing the angel magic for sure!

LL Cool Joe said...

Congratulations on the award and I also love the header photo. :)

Those angels look the way everything looks after I've had a few too many glasses of wine! :D

Patricia said...

Oh an award for a great work...and I love the angel idea and light movement....nice shots.

Thank you for highlighting Snaggletooth too - I love visiting her site.

thank you again for the book cover

Talon said...

b, I know you've been hit hard with the gruelling winter weather. We haven't hit those lows yet (thank God) but I know they're just around the corner. I'm glad the photo made the snow a wee bit easier to handle.

Thank you, Lynn. I purposely blurred it trying to see if I could maybe make it look a little bit like she was using those wings - lol

Thank you, Gypsy. That's one of my favorite winter pics - big wet snowflakes made the shot one of my better snow pics.

Thanks, Meredith! I loved the rich green of that barn with all the white - it was one of those great captures.

JGH, thank you!

lol, Joe. Yes, the angels are not my best work, but definitely experimental - lol! Thanks for the compliment on the header shot. :)

Patricia, thank YOU and I hope you're getting tons of downloads on the book so you'll be able to get that fabulous donation!

As always you top yourself with your words and pic. Thanks

The award was sweet
The photo grand
The angel moved
By your hand

The barn was green
The lake light blue
Sweet pure white snow
My hat’s off to you

Kind words good deeds and
Whispering wings are held near
Yes we mortals can be fooled
But only at this time of year

Snaggle Tooth said...

Lovely new Header pic. Also love the whispering angel pic- so dig angels, n believe in them, too!
btw, in my book, "experimental" is art!
This blog is definately Over The Top! Thanks for the endorsement-

Talon said...

Ellis, your words are sweet
but not necessarily true
because you do good deeds
all the year through ;)

You're welcome, Snaggle! I believe in angels, too.
