Dancing with Death
Vultures are strange scabrous dark birds with dandelion white young. The combination of parent and child seems impossible–ridiculous. In fact, the birds often seem not evil but pathetically ugly and deformed. Sometimes though they look majestic. This one bowed as I watched and seemed to dance with an invisible partner.
I’ve seen people almost die. I’ve spent time with people as they prepare to die and, it is just a thought, but I wonder, do we all, no matter how foolish and homely, look a little majestic when we dance with death?

He does, indeed, look very majestic in this excellent capture, Kym. I’ll have to ponder your question…

The wing feathers are used in the Hopi snake dance to stroke and calm the rattlesnakes. I have one in my car (feather not snake) maybe I’ll get a chance to try it. Maybe not. Great picture, Kym.

I don’t think I’d be willing to get that close to try out the feathers.

Just a thought:
We all dance with death every day
It’s that final Tango – when death has it’s say
that scares us in a primitice way

Beautiful image. Maybe some deaths are majestic, but certainly not all. I can only hope for a good one
