With feathered flock
They canvass
‘Neath the trees
Like well trained soldiers
On an important mission

Great Gain
Twas just a morsel
The tiny seed that he found
Yet he sang for joy
For his heart was contented
And filled with godliness

Sharing Seed
Birds in winter
Hopping all about
Scratching ground
Searching for
Nourishment under the snow
Birdseed is welcomed

I love to watch the birds in my backyard. All Spring and Summer I enjoyed watching a family of Doves, some Cedar Waxwings, Blackbirds,Sparrows and occasionally was fortunate enough to catch sight of a Hummingbird, but now that it’s Winter I don’t see many of my feathered friends, it’s usually just a squirrel or two that is scurrying around. But today, I happened to see quite a gathering of Chickadees hopping about looking for food. They are such cute little birds! Their presence, and also the BlueJay that joined them, was a treat to see, and also a reminder to make sure to keep the birdseed available to them this winter. I figure that’s the least I can do since it’s a such a joy to see them visiting.

Opportunity
Comes and goes with the tide
Every moment counts
As with the sands of time
Now is important
Take heed before it slips away
Invest in your future
Decide to capture opportunities
Each and everyday day

Tides rise and fall
Opportunities do too
Ocean never rests
Dont let opportunies fall
The wise rise not rest

For the birds,
Red Holly berries,
So Festive!
Beautiful
Among the shiny green leaves,
Can harm people and pets

Black Bunny in the wood
Haiku
Apparently a black bunny lives in the woods at the end of a city street in my town. He has often been seen munching on carrots, lettuce and other greens generous neighbors and passerby’s leave for him daily. No one seems to know where he came from or where he’s going but for now he seems content to hang around and enjoy the neighborhood hospitality. I happened to catch sight of him last week while he was enjoying his morning snack and he graciously consented to pose for a photo
Fall Journey
Delicate
Kale, content til
Freedom’s breeze
Carried you.
You danced among the trees.
Sky cried the day you fell

Regeneration
On a dark Fall day
Breeze lifts a fallen leaf
A soul is reborn
