| 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! Emily Dickinson |

What a wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteWe have the Western Bluebird (sialia mexicana) and the Mountain Bluebird (sialia currucoides) but I have never seen either one. MB
Bluebirds! I've never seen one and I SO want to. They are supposed to be in this area, but no such luck yet.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Emily Dickinson poem.
I always have to read her poems over several times to thoroughly digest them.
I have tried, for most of my life, to get a photo here where I live of this Bluebird but no luck yet. They are scarce here but some are around.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your shots of this bird. They are so nice to see.
These are new to me... I always thought Bluebirds were Swallow for some reason.... these are however great.
