Photographer's Note
This image was took one year ago, but you can see the same today.
From the end of February to May groups of different especies of swallow arrive in my region, some of them live all year round here, but there is some of them with long wings that come from canada and these ones are even more numerous.
These ones are Tachycineta leucorrhoa, they live in a huge region of South America, from Uruguay to the borderline of Amazon, according with the winter they move from south to north, but they do theirs nests in Argentina and Uruguay.
In Borrazópolis you can see a matinal show of them daily during the Autumn, thousands of them.
In the wires you can see a native plant who can grow with no soil and live in the electric wires. Here we even can see its branches with seeds. They are a especie of bromeliad (tillandsias) that take minerals it needs from the dust and energy from the sun to live.

Essa foto foi feita Há um ano, mas poderia ser tirada hoje.
Do fim de fevereiro até maio as andorinhas de várias espécies invadem nossa cidade, algumas de asas longas vem do Canadá enquanto outras vivem aqui o ano todo.
As que vemos nessa foto săo da espécie "andorinha-de-sobre-branco" (Tachycineta leucorrhoa), elas vivem numa vasta regiăo da América do Sul, desde o Uruguai até os limites da Amazônia. Durante o inverno elas migram para as áreas mais ao norte, mas fazem seus ninhos apenas no Uruguai e na Argentina.
Durante o outono elas enchem os céus de Borrazópolis, fazendo grandes shows matinais com milhares de indivíduos.
Nos fios vemos pequenas plantas nativas que sobrevivem agarradas aos fios elétricos, podem ver até mesmo os raminhos com as sementes. Essas plantas săo da família das bromélias (gęnero Tillandsia), retiram do ar e do pó os minerais que precisam e usam o sol como fonte de energia.

Hi Jorge,
The wires are helping to frame the birds. The point of view is showing the details of the Swallows and of the vegetation. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice dya.

Hi Jorge
The swallows silhouetted against the blue sky is very attractive. Their shape is very well shown here.

Hello Jorge,
A pity the swallows are 70% a less in Belgium, against twenty year ago, the farms are disappear, have no new life area
Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
John.

Hola Jorge.
Una foto muy singular que nos muestra dos curiosidades, por un lado esa enormidad de golondrinas en los cables electricos y despues esa curiosa planta de la cual nunca habia oido hablar.
Muy bien gestionada tanto la luminosidad, como la nitidez de la imagen.
Un interesante trabajo.Que disfrutamos.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hi Jorge
Two of nature's miracles in one photo - lovely birds and also plants growing on electric wires. I've seen lots of bromeliads in Central America but only on trees! Very creative photo, I like the diagonal composition and agree with your title, it looks like musical notes indeed.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Jorge,
The thumbnail doesn't do this shot any justice. The swallows and the intriguing bit of grass growing on the wires create immediate interest. The diagonal adds dynamism. Tfs!

Hello Jorge,
A like your title!
The birds do resemble musical notes on a stave, and the tilt somehow gives the photograph more interest!
We see swallows arrive at this time of year, though in the region where I live, the number seemed quite reduced in recent years.
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Jorge
A good fascinating one with all the shallows but also with all the "air" plants.
Cheers

Hi Jorge,
it is interesting observation. You could try to play it, maybe the birds are trying to tell us something :)
It was a good idea to capture it diagonally, the final effect is brilliant!
