"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Metalbird

Today I'm celebrating a fabulous birthday present that has found a new home on the patio fence at the condo.

It's a steel Nuthatch crafted by the Metalbird Company.  The idea originated in New Zealand by Phil Walters back in 2009 as a widespread art installation solely to "surprise, delight and intrigue" those who would happen upon them.  They were installed on fences and power poles, and in parks and public spaces....anywhere Phil didn't think he would be arrested for doing so.

We have a great view of it as we sit on our patio....it's a beautiful silhouette against the bright blue sky.....




...and the ever changing sunsets.  
I couldn't be more delighted in my new little friend.


I have been following the company on Instagram....and have enjoyed the images, including this one of a Chickadee, the Maine state bird,  checking out this Nuthatch.  There are over 20 different birds to choose from.....I'm a fan!
