Swans Eggs

Whilst walking the dogs the other day, I failed to stop a couple of kids from smashing the eggs in a swans nest.
I kind of frightened them off but they came back again as soon as I had left and got stuck in. Premeditated, malicious intent, you could call it.
They smashed the swans eggs, not geese eggs of which we have many and who are a nuisance.
It's almost like crime and evil have fallen into different levels of intent.
When something is targeted because it is beautiful seems particularly mean spirited.
Its like a cry from someone who has not, who is taking revenge on someone who has.
A while ago, I pulled up into a car park remarking as we did to my wife about what a refreshingly beautiful blue the car that was parked next to us was. As we came to a halt I noticed there was a large and very deliberate scratch along one side. It seemed it was too beautiful to remain in that state for somebody occupying a very dark place.

Please feel free to say whatever you feel.
I would be more than happy if your comment turns into a longer statement than mine.
I feel it adds to the body of work and as yet you are one of a small nuber of people who read this anyway!

In this brace of blogs, I am trying to sum up the artistic goals I am aiming for. Maybe, more for myself rather than other people although I would like others to read it. I intend to use the sites as places to which I invite people, I dont expecr an immediate rash of people keen to pore over my life. I see it as a kind of glorified C.V. that will probably never get finished.
