Bluebird Beauty

I just love the colors of this Bluebird, sitting in the morning sunlight!
There is beauty all around us if we stop and notice.

  1. Beautiful indeed! Love these birds, but we rarely see them where I live. However, the other day, I was so blessed to see ten cedar wax wings in the same tree, and then an eleventh one flew in. It was a lovely sunny morning and they glowed. Even the bark on trees is interesting and beautiful — we only need to take time to observe.

  2. Most of us who watch the birds, know Thoreau’s words about the bluebird carrying the sky on it’s back. I looked up Emily Dickinson, who always had a poetic insight into her world. Here’s her poem of The Bluebird: Before you thought of spring,
    Except as a surmise,
    You see, God bless his suddenness,
    A fellow in the skies
    Of independent hues,
    A little weather-worn,
    Inspiriting habiliments
    Of indigo and brown.

    With specimens of song,
    As if for you to choose,
    Discretion in the interval,
    With gay delays he goes
    To some superior tree
    Without a single leaf,
    And shouts for joy to nobody
    But his seraphic self!
    “A fellow in the skies of independent hues….& “he goes to some superior tree”, Yours, Kathy! “And shouts for joy to nobody but his seraphic self”. But you heard him, observed his magnificent independent hues, & captured it all so brilliantly to share with all of us. On such a day as we have here, I can only surmise spring & bluebirds, but you’ve given me a vision of joys to come. Thank you, again, Kathy, for Your eyes to see.
