  1. You are a romantic, Brenda! Someone who loves nature as much as you do has a romantic soul, someone who appreciates it as much as you do has the soul of an artist.

  2. Gorgeous photo of the bluebird’s feathers! The beauty and sheer variations of form in the creatures of this earth never ceases to amaze me! I just think: “How is it possible?” And what wonderful beauty and entertainment we can partake in just by looking out our window or strolling in the outdoors. And it’s free. Aren’t we lucky?

  3. We used to feed the birds in our yard. I used to find feathers when I went out to work in the yard. They seemed like thank you notes they left behind. Especially from the crows and flickers. They were very social creatures.

  4. One of my very favorite poems by Dickinson, Brenda.
    I have never done much for Valentine’s Day except to do a few project with my grandkids making Valentines, etc.
    I am always so happy to see the robins return to our area because I know that Spring and warm weather will soon follow. The robins usually get here before things start blooming. xo Diana

  5. I’m entertained daily by the blue jays at my house. I throw out peanuts on the deck. Eventually one will fly up and sit on the railing and send out a call to the others. Then they come one by one and grab a peanut and fly off. One or two of them will even try to get two in their beak at once but I haven’t seen them succeed at that yet. My dog Lacy enjoys laying by the window on her bed and watching the show. Enjoy your blog !

  6. Not many birds around here with this bitter cold and now a big snowstorm. And I do have a bird feeder up all winter. Sometimes in the afternoon, particularly if it’s sunny, we’ll get a bunch of sparrows and juncos at the feeder. Robins won’t appear around here for at least another month.

  7. That bluejay photo is breathtaking. What gorgeous colors.
    We had a hoopoe (huppe in French) hopping around our yard. I was able to get quite close (but still too far for my little camera). It had the most beautiful spotted feathers and elaborate crest.
    I particularly enjoy your nature posts.

  8. The feathers on the blue jay are beautiful. I remember my mother telling me blue jays were not particularly friendly and that they chase other birds, even dive bombing them as well.

    Have a lovely weekend! Carol

  9. As I filled the bird feeder this morning I heard the sweet sound of birdsong in the pines – it set my tone for the whole day! I look forward to this weekend being a tad bit warmer so I can perhaps spend a few more minutes outdoors enjoying the beauty of nature – it’s my favorite thing to do!
