birds
I woke up to the sound of birds today. Six o’clock in the morning and I am sitting in front of the window looking at two small fat birds on the windowsill making an incredible amount of noise for being such small creatures. I have never been much of a nature lover, but i am enjoying this moment very much.
The birds have their little habitat in the garden of one of my neighbours. The window of my small apartment looks out straight into this garden. I work at home, my desk right in front of the window and the family living next to me has been a source of welcome distractions during the long wintermonths. Nothing very exciting: dad putting the garbage in the bin, the cleaning lady on thursdays, teenage son standing outside to smoke a sigaret.
The view has changed now. Over the last few weeks the flowers and the trees have bloomed and i now have the privilege to see some nature while i am working. And of being woken up by loud conversations between fat little birds.
