Girl with Blackbird - Photo Manipulation

 

 

Another one in my "Girl with... " series.

I've used a blackbird this time (a baby one... but still!). Blackbirds in mythology are often thrown in with ravens, crows and magpies. Each of them has their own 'tasks' or association; tthe blackbird is associated with 'temptation' (often but not always of a sexual nature). Temptation often brings with it change and happens when we're unsettled already, hence the Autumn leaves, to symbolise the need for change, to move on.
