Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Ravens freak me out. Something from my childhood, I'd imagine. Thanks for freaking me out man ;)

@Fred: They only bother me when they get really annoying. We get many of them
here and they can wake the dead when they get going.

I like the framing in this picture. Ravens are very sacred to the First Nations People and you have captured it well.

@Lost Valley: There were two of them here. They were looking at me and talking. I felt like they were laughing at me. Then one left and this guy struck a few posing before cruising off.

A mix of graphic and animal photograph. The whole is excellent and works very well. Excellent work.
