I used to refer to the two crows in The Grove as Mr and Mrs Crow even though I doubt if over the years they have have been the same birds. Now I try to avoid referring to them in that way, though that doesn't prevent me from thinking of them as a rather pompous self-regarding couple who exercise proprietry rights over the little park. It is something to do with the way they strut over the grass and the lazy way in which they flap their wings when they fly. The more I think about animals and birds and human beings, the more they seem to have enough in common to allow some indulgence in anthropomorphism.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-57384743026177847672009-10-22T09:50:24.132+01:002009-10-22T09:50:24.132+01:00I'm unwilling to ascribe boredom to those warr...I'm unwilling to ascribe boredom to those warring parties, believing that that is their default state. But what about inanition? It's a word that deserves its walk in the park and its secondary meaning is "The absence or loss of social, spiritual or intellectual vitality or vigour". I mean, if we're going anthropomorphic, let's go all the way.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-79784227056651518782009-10-22T06:54:54.705+01:002009-10-22T06:54:54.705+01:00Photography is an easy way to be able to feel like...Photography is an easy way to be able to feel like a misunderstood artist!
