Two for Tuesday: Whispering Secrets

This twosome appears to be sharing a few secrets. The one facing front seems to have the inside scoop and wants to deliver the news to his lady friend sitting so snugly to his right.

With this couple, there's an inviting secrecy generated by such huddled intimacy. Feather to feather, cheek to cheek, they share something all their own perched upon the pole, whispering.

I love the way her head cranes, showing only that one curious eye. It reminds me of Arnold Newman's stunning portrait of Picasso. It seems whatever he's telling her, she had to turn around to sneak a peek to see for herself.

Sharing secrets, telling stories intended for only one set of ears is alluring. I don't know about you, but when a story begins - now, don't tell anyone else about this...I feel special in a certain way, selected and inside the fence of confidentiality.
