Eastern Blue Bird (Sialia sialis)

My most popular photo of 2022 was something I almost didn’t post.  Technically, from a photographer’s standpoint, it is not as good a photo of a bird as I usually post.  But I have learned that my followers would rather see a photo of one of my common birds doing something birdy than a perfectly posed picture of a rare warbler.

I’m kind of obsessed with this painting and others by the same artist of Black girls.

it is one of the few representations of Black women in “traditional art,” for lack of a better term that shows the subject as soft, delicate and vulnerable, which are qualities ascribed to us so rarely it’s notable when it happens.

It’s painted by a Ukrainian woman. I don’t have time to unpick all the complexities there, but there’s enough fraughtness between Black women and Eastern Europeans that the source of this painting is equally as surprising to me as the tenderness of subject.
