No. 114 - Rook

I am unable to share all the context behind what I learned today. I am working on a surprise for a very special person. If you are an avid reader of this blog, I am sure you will discover what it is in a couple of weeks.

I learned that a rook is a type of bird similar to a crow, and a group of rooks is called a building.

I learned this while researching a Russian landscape artist by the name of Alexei Savrasov (1830-1897). His most famous painting is called The Rooks Have Come Back. It depicts birds returning home while emotionally showing the transition of nature from winter to spring.
