Three Birds Still Life

I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.

I'm grateful I could get this photo of the birds before they flew away! For Texture Tuesday, the Gratitude eDition. Two Kim Klassen textures used-stained linen modified with Snap Art 2 for a oil paint effect, and silent night, plus a hue/saturation layer.
