Soaring
I don’t remember whether these were pigeons, crows or seagulls. The skies around here seem to nurture them all!

Spring Dance
a pair of cardinals
in my garden – in spring dance
they zip here, fly there
pecking at freshly tilled soil
a cold and windy spring day

Wordless Wednesday – Seagull
Taken at the pier on my walk a few days ago. She was ready for her close-up.

Wordless Wednesday
Slow Reveal
in a slow reveal
the promise of spring is closer to being realized
branches stand clad in nubs soon to be buds
sparrows and starlings cling to fine branches like leaves that ought to be
time stands ready this season on this trip around the sun
will you be here to welcome the delicate white blooms of the pear tree?
will they enjoy the gentle flicker
in the spring breeze without your fleeting gaze?
it is a slow reveal

Aspirations
There was harmony in the park this morning. No swooping seagulls. No squirrel on the run with snarky birds in hot pursuit. There was no huge butterfly skewered in the beak of a tiny bird. Everyone was getting along!
Imagine that!!
aspirations
collide with reality –
contentious restart

Renewal
The pear tree in the front yard is pretty close to the second floor porch. So we get to witness a bit of nature up close. The pace at which nubby buds change to to delicate blossoms is so interesting to watch. So we are blessed with having blooms, and pears within arms length.
An even more fun bonus of this proximity is being able to keep company with the visiting birds, bees and butterflies. So amidst this upheaval nature marches on, creating this space of respite.
in search of renewal
I bury my head
in the captivating blooms
of the pear tree –
a lone sparrow joins me

(With all her antics, I googled her..a Northern Mockingbird)
This backyard of mine is at once a wild kingdom and a comedy skit. Yesterday was a gray, chilly and windy day bearing no resemblance to spring. I looked out to see her, the bird living in my tree that is, entering her nest.
The wind has been toying with that small tree all day. Really tossing it to and fro. I am thinking this was the reason for the loud twittering that had been filling the air on and off all day. A squirrel, traisping across the back fence found himself on the run. The nesting bird chased him down
and pecked him in the ass. I’ve never seen that before. I guess he was closer than she wanted him to be to her nest.
Today there was a repeat. Only, this time he was racing up and down the main trunk of the neighbor’s very tall tree and she was in hot pursuit! What is with this bird! Maybe they’re just friends. Romping. Or, maybe they’re just as crazy as us humans.
clouds scurrying
across a not so full moon –
spring feels out of sink
