I sat down on the cliffs above the beach to take some wildflower shots. When I looked to my left, there was this raven, just sitting there looking at me... it didn't fly away until a woman down on the beach came up, too fast, wearing bright colors and sporting a white digital camera, started shooting photos of us (we were about four feet apart on the cliff, with only grasses and flowers separating us).

The symbolic meaning of the Raven in Native American lore describes it as a creature of metamorphosis and symbolizes pending change and/or transformation. How exciting!!!

I like the reference in the Bible to ravens... in Genesis:

Genesis 8:6-8

6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
=================================

I Kings 17:

2 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”

5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

=============================

and God's challenging question to Job:

Job 38:41
Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

======================

And the Psalmist, when he wrote, about God:

Psalm 147:9
He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.

========================

I have a raven here that was brought to me in 2003, after having been kicked by a horse (she was young at the time). The injury was such that she will never fly again, but she has become quite the comic - teases the cats, 'talks' to me, sings to the ravens outside and generally seems to be a very happy bird... she loves kibbled dogfood soaked in water, fresh strips of lean beef, chicken, and occasionally, mice that I get for her from the feed store :)

About Feather3
Feather3 Have lived on the Mendocino coast of California for almost 27 years. I have sold some photos, so I guess that makes me a freelance professional? :)I hope you enjoy these! My passion in art is drawing in pen and ink: birds. I have severe carpal tunnel that, while it seems to be getting better, has made it difficult to draw the smaller, finer details I was used to doing before - so in 2006, I took up photography and in July of 2012, the FujiFilm FinePix HS25 XD came into my life :) - It is an amazing piece of equipment -- with many features including a 30X wide-angle capability that has simply astound me time after time........I have been drawing again, however, and am thankful! :) Exercises for the carpal tunnel nerve have helped *tremendously* thanks for a few folks here on WU! :) U NO HOOOO U R ....As a former wildlife rehabilitator (1986-2003), I frequently will receive calls to rescue wild birds - there are a few shots of these in my gallery, but I prefer to catch and turn in to a local vet or another rehabber, or catch and release, as the case may be, without a lot of stress to the critter by taking photos of an injured, scared animal.In my life I have also been a naturalist for a local nature center and have led nature hikes to identify area plant life as well as wildlife. It is from this perspective that I enjoy sharing my photos of the same, not having had the pleasure during my short stay at the nature center, but loving it all nonetheless. I think WunderGround is a lot of fun and have been enjoying this site tremendously - meeting other photog's from all over the world is one of the best - but seeing their photos! WOW! :)Be sure to visit my website - launched on 09/09/09, called Sunrise Sea Glass! Click on my website link to visit
