I love pigeons. Recently had a pair nest, rear and fledge two baby birbs on our balcony and wasn't that just the perfect tonic to the chaos of the universe. They are tiny and cute and love them.

Nestling pigeons are the most beautifully ugly babies as well. I love them.

Six of Swords

This piece is from May 2021 and depicts my first past life who lost four of their children to miscarriages and other common ailments. Two survived, but their eyes are focused on the four they've lost.

I often associate this past life with feathers and wings. In this particular image the feathers are almost like a rash or an infection. In this one, they use their wings to protect themselves and their loved ones from a fate they fear is all too present.

The Six of Swords is about leaving painful memories behind, or ridding yourself of that which no longer serves you. It's been years since I've drawn this but I have not addressed these memories quite yet; they are too painful. Drawing this helped in a bit of catharsis, though.

In the midst of all the human issues, nature still needed a helping hand. Old robin nest refused by mourning doves ended up on the ground, so my husband used bamboo to fortify a new nest site and I placed the nest. Parents followed the nest and were back on it, sheltering the babies from the rain. #nature #nest #mourningdoves #fallennest #birds #birding #naturephotography #birdwatching #birdlovers #birder #lkh #lkhamilton #laurellkhamilton #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #anitablake #merrygentry #wednesday #beagoodhuman #helpinghands https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRGaGKgsQo/?igshid=1hqemw37ullu3

If you look closely there is so much beauty to see and be grateful for. These two mournings doves resting for a quiet moment in Flagler Garden, inspired me to do the same. . . . . . . #doves #peace #mourningdoves #inspiration #rvagardentrail #birds (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2y0nJ4Jt_T/?igshid=6jvi5m5ptc6g

The baby #mourningdoves are getting pretty big. As Matt said "It's like a National Geographic special on our balcony."
