fly!

I made this collage this afternoon.

Before leaving for my nephew's graduation party
I decided to check on the little chickadees.

I opened the box and that
anxious chickadee {on the left}
flew right out and into a tree!

Guess my nephew,
and my niece who graduated today, too,
weren't the only ones

ready

to

fly

!

happy little bluebirds

I got a new telephoto lens,

and I have been snapping pics

<Left and Right>

of the bluebirds

that visit in mY bAcKyArD...

and I'm having FuN editing...

Do bluebirds always have to be blue? :)

Oh, I do delight in the beauty of God's creation!

*

“For since the creation of the world
God’s invisible qualities -
his eternal power and divine nature -
have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made,
so that men are without excuse.”
Romans 1:20

goodbye sweet zephyr

Zephyr means gentle breeze.

Everything about Zephyr was gentle.

Her coo was soft and soothing.

She taught me what it meant to be

harmless, pure...

The peaceful dove has always been a symbol of innocence.

She lived a good, long life.

Doves have a life expectancy

in captivity of 10 to 15 years.

She was with us for nearly 20.

Goodbye, sweet Zephyr.

We'll miss you.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Matthew 10:6

bluebird blessings

I spotted

the

first

bluebird

of the season

this morning,

and

I

couldn't

be

more

delighted!
