Photo for the week – 68 – Facade
He builds the walls
decorates the room
His creation for her
a place to dance
a stage to perform
Will she like what she sees
Is this the man for her
Can she see deep into his being
and find a way into
his heart
or is this a facade
a temporary construct
of a blue fantasy
beguiling
bewitching.
This is an actual Satin Bowerbird’s bower on my place. When I found this one I was just amazed at the number of blue things he had found to decorate the bower. I am not sure what the love heart came from or where many of the objects were collected as I know they weren’t from my place, except a blue peg or two perhaps.
That is really a beauty of a bower.

A true love nest. Are they attracted to things only blue?

Satin Bowerbirds are in the main, the one in the garden now has some yellow leaves. The Western Bowerbirds collect white things

Bowerbirds are so fascinating in their behavior. This one surely must have won her over with the blue heart in there.

That sounds like a good plan Jo 🙂 Do tell of M’s response. Once it is blue it is then you tell him he must dance.
This is a young Bowerbird at a practice bower I filmed a few years ago

I like right where it was.
also, because I have been in a different blog mode – I might have missed the flow – you know – there are times I have to come back for a song or whatnot –
anyhow, it worked well on my end amigo
