I left my heart with a dying bird at Palmengarten…
I don’t know what had gotten into me. I took pictures and left the dying pigeon to the beaks of two flesh-hungry ravens waiting to have what it seemed to be an autumn feast. I wanted to pick the pigeon up but somehow I didn’t. I left in hurry to beat the clock. In my head, ” I gotta see more of Frankfurt!”
And now, my selfishness is killing me. I thought I can hide my feeling and forget about it with all the lovely autumn pictures but I just couldn’t. Seeing pictures I captured at Palmengarten will only remind me of this. I am not sure the fate of the pigeon but I think it’s in heaven now. I hope God can forgive me for not saving it. I know it’s a cycle of life but I could’ve contributed to another cycle where the pigeon could’ve spread the rose seeds where Frankfurt’s Palmengarten would be filled with more roses.
Thought and prayers for the pigeon.

Aww, how sad! π
But I think you shouldn’t blame yourself. Their fate is written by God. Cheer up, Kak Em.
LadyJava
Oh dearie.. dont blame yourself.. there’s is nothing much you can do even if you were to help him. Like you say.. it’s the circle of life…
hugs!
Mazny
I am still impress by the size of that rose seeds. So big, eh?… Wonder how the garden looks like in spring.
LadyJava
On another note.. it is a great looking autumn!
emila
But still, I could’ve saved it.
emila
Yes but I was given the opportunity to save the bird…I wasted it.
emila
Yup, quite big! It’ll be full in colors but of course less one bird to enjoy the beauty.
Mazny

emila
Yes, currently in an autumn mood. I am glad I visited autumn in Frankfurt.

It is! An autumn with a little tragedy…
Mazny

Amboi, banyaknya komen dari Puan Mazny…
Em, the pigeon’s time has come. Don’t feel too bad about it. Just set in your mind that next time you’ll do something different.
emila
OK, bang. I will. Thanks for the advice.
Mazny
Insya-Allah… you really inspire me, kak. Hehe…
Mazny

I was not in the mood of working today. Lagi pun, I am trying my best to win a copy of the limited edition Salina. π Bila baca blog Kak Emi, tangan gatal betul nak komen (dispite of my first aim to win that book! LOL)
soulie
awww poor pigeon….but how are you going to save it? tgh imagine if i were in your shoes at that time.
soulie
if letak tempat lain, surely the raven still can detect the dying pigeon
emila
Thank you for taking me as your inspiration. That drives me.
emila
LOL! Uncle Fadhil…eh Abang Fadhil, Mazny is trying to win Salina π
emila
I boleh angkat dia dan pergi ke management office and ask them to send the bird to vet.
emila
Cannot letak tempat lain, nanti raven tu ikut juga. Raven has a great ability to sense dying or dead preys.

i feel u kak emila. Pernah sekali sewaktu memandu tiba2 dari jauh nampak sekawan merpati hinggap di atas jalan. saya tak berhenti untuk bagi peluang mereka terbang dulu, hanya memperlahankan kenderaan. bila kereta dah dekat tiba2 seekor merpati berjalan ke arah kereta dan perccckkk!! tengok dari cermin sisi, kepala burung tu dah lenyek keluar otak kuning. tak berhenti sebab tak sanggup nak tengok. kejadian itu menghantui saya seketika.
emila
Kan?? Ambil masa nak lupakan. MAcam I terlanggar kucing I. Berbulan lamanya dok menangis bila teringat.
Insyirah
Don’t be sad, just look on the bright side,at least you had a great time in Frankfurt! π
emila
I guess so….
