Love the rusty bluebird and the gentle sentiments

Joan Elizabeth said...

The blue bird is enhanced by the rust ... like the knocks and bumps of life which help us to learn simplicity, trust, hope

" . . . flying anywhere towards . . . " Love that. It reminds me of a Kevin Welch song: ". . . she figures she'll know where she is when she's there . . . "

Love this.

the simpler, the easier to trust, i think. just keep moving those wings of ours, and theirs. everywhere.

A little bit blue and a little bit rusty - that pretty much sums up my mood today. Hope you have a great weekend.

Love the header! It's amazing what we find among the branches... I love it when I find sunshine!

Elizabeth Halt said...

I saw my first bluebird when I moved to CA. I was so happy to find them in OR too. Along with blue jays (though bluebirds are my favorite). They just make my morning whenever I see one.

Memories Of Mine said...

What a beautiful blue bird to be greeted by in the garden. Slightly weathered adds character.
