Trick or Treat

EB2R7068The Trick-or-Treat question regarding this photo is one of perception. Did you notice the beauty in the shape of the bird’s wings and tail, which I regard as the treat, or on the other hand, did you notice the second bird’s eye peering out from under the left wing, which I regard as the trick. Nature is full two-sided propositions, darkness and light, sickness and health, competition and compassion. Read more and see the photos of crows in combat on:
