The wind told the grasses
And the grasses told the trees.
The trees told the bushes
And the bushes told the bees.
The bees told the robin
And the robin sang out clear:
Wake up Wake up
Spring is here! Spring is here!
I was over-joyed to see this little Robin at the Pond - the first one I've seen over there, let alone take a shot of !
It was a fair distance away and at first I thought it was an autumn leaf that had caught my eye. I was able to get a little bit nearer without him flying off but he moved about in the branches quite a lot.
However - I was able to zoom in a little with my Olympus Stylus1 - such a handy little camera.
A couple of pics turned out reasonably sharp and I loved his pose in this one. Oh joy !!
You know the drill - warm coat, woolly hat, gloves, wellies, snow shovel and you're working hard to clear the snow from your driveway. That was me this afternoon. I had planned to treat my garden birds to a few live mealworms after my hard work but 'my' Robin wasn't prepared to wait. He flew into my garage and helped himself ... he knows where I keep them!
So, I thought it was fitting to post a Robin in the snow. This was taken in my garden a few years ago. The white feathers made him very distinctive but, sadly, last winter was last time I saw him.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Robin Redbreast
By: William Allingham
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer!
For Summer's nearly done;
The garden smiling faintly,
Cool breezes in the sun;
Our Thrushes now are silent,
Our Swallows flown away,--
But Robin's here, in coat of brown,
With ruddy breast-knot gay.
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
Robin singing sweetly
In the falling of the year.
Bright yellow, red, and orange,
The leaves come down in hosts;
The trees are Indian Princes,
But soon they'll turn to Ghosts;
The scanty pears and apples
Hang russet on the bough,
It's Autumn, Autumn, Autumn late,
'Twill soon be Winter now.
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
And welaway! my Robin,
For pinching times are near.
The fireside for the Cricket,
The wheatstack for the Mouse,
When trembling night-winds whistle
And moan all round the house;
The frosty ways like iron,
The branches plumed with snow,--
Alas! in Winter, dead and dark,
Where can poor Robin go?
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
And a crumb of bread for Robin,
His little heart to cheer.
It's great to have beautiful sunshine today even though it is very cold still,
Thank you everyone for your kind comments, take care, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend !!
the last 3 weeks i found out that photographing birds even in my garden is not easy at all!! but i will continue ..
Mom is so proud of her nesting family as they grow more and more each day. This one young chick is trying hard to find room enough to stretch his or her wings in such a confined nest.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul....Darrell.
Have a safe and sweet day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated !
A photo of a robin I took at Llyn Elsi in Betws-y-Coed. It was a bit interested in us and stayed close in case we had some food. With the branches I think I got quite a nice imge.
I managed a quick shot of this Robin as it flew from bush to bush, just ahead of us, as we walked around the lakeside path at Hardwick Country Park the other day.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
Thanks to all who choose to Comment etc....Much appreciated.

Ever Reliable Robin!
Roodborstje......Robin, i was sitting outside with my camera waiting for the robin to appear. A few days ago I noticed he returned and now I am hoping he is staying here for the winter. So my feeders are up and I created a little setting :-)

I enjoyed some creative framing here, highlighting the American Robin in an oval design.
I like challenging myself to try new techniques and styles in my photography. It's fulfilling and helps me think outside the box. Maybe it keeps my old brain from turning to mush!
