The Urban Forest


Outside of my window is this urban forest. A very strange landscape of water towers, rooftops, buildings of different heights scattered about, all surrounded by tall apartment buildings which form the outer edges of the block. I love that there is this big open space for me to look out on, even though it is not anything particularly scenic, it is always changing as the sun moves across the sky and people, cats and birds move around in this space.

This morning I was awakened by the loud chatter of birds. As this is spring, and many birds make this space their home, the little ones were up early, chirping for whatever reason they chirp - for food, for attention, or just to practice the art of chirping.
