Eyes Wide Shut


Baby birds with their wide mouths open
insisting, me…me…me, I want more.
Eyes wide shut, blindly consuming.
Is this my generation? Is it yours?

    I like the metaphor you've got going on here!

    And that picture is exquisite!

    The mamma bird just keeps getting bigger and tries to make the babies dependant on her. I think there might be one or two self reliant ones in there though. ;-)

    Cute picture by the way.

    Wow what a fantastic shot, what kind of chicks are they? I got a shot like that once of chicks in a Bluebird nest, though not even half as nice as yours. Very nice.

    What a nice metaphor. I think I consume with eyes open.

    Thank you everyone for your nice comments. The baby birds are Phoebees and the mother was very patient with me as I took photos. There were on a low limb hanging over the shore the lake at Cacapon State Park, WV. I was sure to thank her as I left.

    In infancy, I'm pretty sure it's every generation!
