Seven Swallows Sitting

“Seven Swallows Sitting” Photography & Artwork
by Holly Kempe ©


A family of Australian Woodswallows perched tightly together on a wire preening each other against a background of bright blue sky. Bowen, Queensland.

“The swallow, bonny birdie, comes sharp
twittering o’er the sea,
And gladly is her carol heard for the sunny
days to be;
She shares not with us wintry glooms,
but yet, no faithless thing,
She hunts the summer o’er the earth with
wearied little wing.”
