    1. Just look up onto the internet what a barn swallow looks like, and then against the background of washi and be prepared to be blown away! On certain Summer days (in Canada, USA, Northern Europe etc…) be prepared to be blown away, and fortunately the Barn Swallow is also seen as a bird of Spring! Southern Hemisphere in the time of Winter is also a good time, so set your sails across Marianne's washi sky and catch them all year, if you can!

    belfry bells
    the swallows compose
    a perfect clef
