After the storm

Posted by Lorena (Fort Myers, United States) on 23 September 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

I didn't have a very good day yesterday... It was a hard and very disappointing day. I took this picture on the way home through the sun roof, the rain had just stopped for a second and the sky look very very dark. Millions of birds were flying all over the place. It was a great sight. I have a wonderful family and God has been so good to me! Well... We all know that the rainbow comes after the storm and the sun will shine again I am sure.Things don't go always as you expect, but I am confident that everything is alright!

Good message on Sunday morning right! Don't we all need it right now.

@Pavla: Isn't it funny how sunday's message was about this?? God is so awesome!

Tamara from Fort Myers, FL, United States

I'm sorry, dear! I hope you have a better day today! The picture is very reminiscent of a bad day, but it looks excellent! I love it when all those birds flock together, almost like they want us to take their photo! :)
Keep up your positive attitude! You are such a good person, it always shines through!
Maybe I'll see you at Zumba? :)

Johnnyanne from Layton, UT, United States

Wow. It took me a while to figure out they were birds perched on the power line. Good job.

Great shot!. Reminds me of the film, by Alfred Hitchcock, 'The Birds'.

@Matt Sutton: Life is so funny sometimes... I took pictures the whole day, and the very last one was this one and the one I liked the most!

Hikari from Kumamoto, Japan

Very good photo , it perfectly reflect your mood at the moment ! , usually we get more inspiration when our feelings are more "outside".
I hope you doing well !

I hope today is a better day for you, this image is mad, I love it, very dramatic and slighty freaky, the sun will shine again, for sure!

@Kylie Greenan: Thanks Kylie! It is mad and I am actually really scared of birds :)

Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal

Estas imagens lembram-me sempre o famoso filme The Birds de Hitchcock. Excelente Lorena.

@Ana Lúcia: That movie... I couldn't finish watching, I have a mild bird phobia :)

Evelyn from Berkeley, United States

Watch out--the birds are coming!

26 Sep 2008 4:56am

@Evelyn: yikes... there was I am no kidding hundreds of them.

Anthony Thomason from Phoenix, United States

Lorena,
I read your words and take in your image and think - maybe not birds, but angels serving as a buffer between you and the storm...Keep your head up, girl!
