Birds and Dogs

Birds and Dogs

This little memory also inspired me when I wrote my first picture book.

The memory is about one of those moments when my daughter was a little girl.

The image originally is a colorful image... as you can see on the thumbnail. For the posting I wanted to give my image that old story book look and worked on the image till I got that look. I hope you'll enjoy!

At that time whenever we were taking a walk, she would see a little dog... and we had to get friendly with that dog. I didn't mind looking for dogs and talk to them, and let my daughter telling those strange dogs all kind of friendly words. I liked to see how the dogs and my daughter were so happy to play with each other.

But with birds it was a different story. My daughter liked very much birds also. But I didn't have the ability to 'call' the birds in order to ask them to stay with us a little... and letting them to have a nice conversation with us. But there was a time, when I get to know a nice lady, her name was Cecilia. We used to work together on different kinds of projects. And we used to get together after work hours also. One day, my daughter, Cecilia and me were sitting in a garden. Cecilia saw a little bird on one of the trees and started to whistle to him. The bird came down, and they started to talk to each other. Cecilia whistled to the bird and the bird chirped as an answer. And my daughter and me were sitting silently... not to disturbed those wonderful moments.
