When photographing the other animals, the ravens were usually in the way and disturbed the composition of the picture. But sometimes it was also a nice change to put the supposed supporting actors in the spotlight.

"We call ships 'SHE'. We call our war machines 'WOMEN'. We compare women to black widows and vipers. And you are going to tell me it's not 'lady like' to scream, fight, take up space, and demand whatever the hell I want?
Don't try to down play my power."
Unfortunately not all spring babies make it to see Summer.
I took the opportunity to get a closer look at the beautiful feet and talons of this Raven (Corvus coraxl chick that washed up on the high tide line.
County Clare, Ireland.
Today is also International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day and I for one, appreciate the corvids. They are extraordinarily intelligent birds! Here is my murder of crows, part of my #termsOfVenery series of collective nouns for animals series of prints.
The raven is the official bird of the Yukon, in my print with the official flora, fireweed.
Lastly my crow print, inspired by a photo my husband took.

INTERMISSION Descending into the shaded interior of the main streets of the village, you head down the stone steps that eventually break into this side alley, where many of the towering clustered structures basically block out the majority of the sky above you other than the winding alleyways that push through beneath. As soon as you begin to step down, you can hear that giggling again by that little mud patch that was situated. You can see these two smaller kids that are that are looking from the side at the rest of you.
One of them, you can see, looks like a young Reilora, about waist high. The other looks to be-- you can only assume it’s a Bormodo because of the rounder shape. So the two of them together have a sort of Mario and Luigi visual aesthetic as they’re both looking off to the side.
03:39:15 Matt:“Yeah, it’s where you go to dye.”
Taliesin:"It’s called Just Dye Already."
03:39:35 Following FCG’s ping of his Locate Creature spell, you come to the outside of a massive clay kiln. Embedded in the base of it is a doughnut-shaped stone structure that’s built around the base of this kiln. Here is the strongest bit of black smoke that drifts up and gets carried away with the wind that presses down over the mountain range and through this valley. But there you see, in the first time you’ve really taken a moment to appreciate the written font of a lot of the language here. A lot of it is common and broken other Exandrian languages, but everything has this oddly carved–like the memory of hand writing, in places. It takes you a minute to focus on enough to see “The Jagged Edge.”
All throughout the building’s entryway, there’s an arch of broken and pointed bits of glass that have been wedged into the stone archway entrance. It looks dangerous at first, but as you approach, you can see the tips have all been rounded of to ensure that it might catch ya, but it wont cut ya.
On the inside, you could hear the clanging of metal upon metal and other materials, like a workshop that’s hard at work. As you step inside, the smell catches you immediately. Smell and temperature. It is very warm in here. The affixed massive kiln that works here is definitely blazing, and the windows are open to try and let as much air flow through as possible. You can see there are all manner of unique chains. That same weird rusted metal that you saw the Shrikes using. It looks like they’ve been repurposed. Some of them come to a rust crumble, but the ones that do function have hooks on them, and you can see there are partially-finished projects that are hung. Some of them look to be dishware. Some of them look to be decoration. Some of those more unique-looking lanterns that you saw hung in the tower that glowed when you entered; the same material.
You can see there’s a pile of broken shards of blue-green glass where certain projects didn’t quite make the process, as it happens when working with glass. But also, all manner of weapons. Like long scimitars made of intricately sharpened glass, like an obsidian flecked edge. You can see spear edges and falchions, and glaives made of the same material. There is definitely a weaponsmithing portion of this business.
You also see, occasionally, little knickknacks. You see a small multi-piece glass blown and shaped wuukor, with all its tiny little horns all around it. You see above on the shelf, what looks to be a beautiful rendition of a dancing Reiloran with its arms out as it’s flying in the air. Very ‘Peter Pan’-esque in its presentation, with the clouded green-blue glass making the form of the its body and the rest of it cleared out slightly to help it look like it’s aloft.
There’s a unique mixture of artistry and weaponry across the interior and in the far back you see, sitting at the workshop table and hitting tiny instruments, chipping away at a project, a tall, rotund-looking male fuzzy creature, not unlike the fanged and tuck-toothed creatures that you encountered at the nearby mountain range. This one’s hair is stark white at this point. You get a sense of age and maturity about them. They have a heavy set of goggles that have layer-upon-layer of extended-looking lenses, to this tiny fine point, and you see them chipping away at this tiny little piece of something. As you begin to step in, the voice rings out,
“I’ll be with you , just a moment. Please be patient. Finishing this one project. Don’t be loud, I hate loud noises.” (grunts) Immediately throws it across the room, and it shatters on the wall.
"My apologies! Ah, sometimes that’s how that works. Hello. What can we do for the Imperium?"
03:45:30 Matt:“You both get whispers.” Historical Crit Moment: First ‘Sandwich’ Whisper
Sam:“Oh! How did he get his tongue in both of our ears?!”
Marisha:“He’s very talented.”
Liam:“His tongue is forked.”
Matt:"It’s that bisected surgery I got in high school."
03:46:53 Almost five minutes go by before the curtain pulls apart and you see a Reiloran Shrike. You see that elongated, thin, almost lizard, predator body of this extension, the exaggeration of the standard Reiloran step through. She has dark green marble-set-like eyes with what looks to be one big carved mark, like a giant “C” that’s carved around the outside of the eye that comes in towards the edge of the mouth.
As she steps out, she throws a bit of a jacket over and steps into the chamber. You can see she has a natural hunch to her form, but still, standing tall, taller than any of you. She looks back, Jidoh hasn’t arrived yet, or hasn’t returned and goes,
Zhesh:“So, you have my attention. You said you needed a contract, yes?”
Imogen:"Nice to meet you in person."
03:53:07 Houses are marked with the color of deep royal purple for search.
03:53:42 Next stop the Overspoke Tower in the Banners section of the city.
03:58:55 Confirmed Jidoh and Zhesh are not the same NPC with two outfits.
04:08:41 Sam’s cartoon sneeze
04:12:00 Laudna:“Do we need to give a little bit of room for the artiste?”
Chetney:“What?”
FCG:"Do you need anything to do your stupid work?"
04:15:05 Fan Art Moment Laudna shaking rocks and dust out of her head
Wanted to draw something like this long time ago, when many crows invaded my district and it looked like some horror movie scene :blobCat_blush:
I imagined raven-man in cartoon style, with long slim face and long nose - not exactly like this, I failed creating it like in my vision :/ At least he still have purple coat... Maybe whole scene should be darker...
I got my first DSLR at the end of 2012. The last time I had taken photography seriously was about a decade prior to that (I was more focused on programming and computer networking than visual arts). Back then, I would do almost daily walks around the town I lived in and would usually bring my camera just in case I saw something I wanted to photograph. It definitely helped train my eye for good photos, but in retrospect I probably should have opted for something lighter than a DSLR and telephoto lens lol. Quite often on my walks I would be followed by the local ravens. They had already been used to me walking around long before I had the camera. Sometimes I would try to feed them or just sit and watch them drop walnuts in the road so cars would run them over. Although they never behaved too oddly around me. After I had started walking with my camera I noticed they would follow me with much more intent. At first I thought it was out of curiosity. They probably saw the glint of light off the lens and wanted to check it out. After a while though I could swear that sometimes they were trying to show off or pose. One even saw me take a picture, and then flew in a circle around me, landed, and then caw'd at me. They also started following me around in groups and for weirdly long distances. Whereas before if they followed me it was only one or two and just for a little bit and probably coincidental. They're very strange and fascinating creatures and I miss my weird entourage. I wonder if they noticed my absence after I moved?
