I'm taking a yoga class and it has turned into a wonderful way to learn, heal and grow. Through the guidance of our instructor, we not only gain physical benefits, but also a deep sense of peace, far beyond any daily concerns. At the end of class she plays these antique Tibetan Singing Bowls - they are used worldwide for music, meditation, and relaxation.
Nothing Lasts Forever...
Not even the best Wines...
Let's Remember
I may be your forgotten son
who wandered off at twenty one
it's sad to find myself at home
oh Ma.
If I could only hold your hand
and say I'm sorry yes I am
I'm sure you really understand
oh Ma
where are you now.
OhMamy
oh Mamy - Mamy - blue
oh Mamy - Blue
The house we shared upon the hill
seems lifeless but it's standing still
and memories of childhood days
fill my mind
oh Mamy MamyMamy.
I've seen enough of different lights
seen tired days and lonely nights
and now without you by my side
I'm lost how can I survive.
Oh Mamy...
Nobody who takes care of me
who loves me who has time for me
the walls look silent at my face oh Ma
so dead is our place.
The sky is dark
the wind is rough
and now I know what I have lost
the house is not a home at all
I'm leaving
the future seems so small.
This little bird hung around for quite some time, many minutes, at the top of the tree. Singing all the time.

Clay-colored sparrow busy singing. Spotted at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant, Ramsey County, MN. A great place for birding.
A rufous-naped lark (Corypha africana) in Masai Mara last year. (Rufous means reddish brown in colour, and the nape is the back of the neck.)
I think it's one of the birds I have seen and heard the most while driving on the savanna, often standing on top of mounds on the ground.
It has a sweet, simple and loud song of 3-5 notes, and often does a wing flapping display at the same time, like on this photo.
It is a widespread species of lark, in the lightly wooded grasslands, open savannas and farmlands of the Afrotropics.

It's probably more difficult to photograph a Nightingale that isn't singing at this time of year as they seem to sing without a break day and night. But they are a bird of damp, dense woodland and usually sing from cover, as they are a bird that definitely relies on their vocal abilities rather than their plumage to attract a mate. We heard dozens of Nightingales in the Coto Donana but we only managed good views of a handful. They are a common bird across much of south and west Europe, with a European population of up to 7 million pairs. But in Britain we have a few thousand pairs, and that number is declining so fast that they have been added to the red list.
I photographed this singing Dipper in Lathkill Dale in Derbyshire's White Peak. It was a lovely wren-like song that was clearly audible over the noisy river.
This was a photo taken at the WTP Monday fortnight ago where my camera button refused numerous shots. The photo was very soft, but I was pleased to secure one shot after many missed opportunities.
Our tour guide in Antigua.
During our bus tour she was answering questions from us and one came up about their national anthem. She said "It's beautiful and I'm not the best singer but if you'd like I'll sing it for you". She sang their national anthem and by the time she was finished she had tears streaming down her cheeks because she loves her country that much. Very touching to say the least.
It really was a good tour and she made it even better. I noticed when we got off the bus the tourists had compensated her well and she certainly deserved it.

I woke up this morning,
Smiled at the rising sun,
Three little birds,
Sat on my doorstep,
Singing sweet songs

A male common whitethroat (Curruca communis) from the archive, that use to sing all day outside our house during late spring and summer.
Yesterday I heard its lovely song again for the first time this year, on the birdwatching trip on Lista with my Birdlife Dalane group.
And - on my way out to look for birds again this morning, I heard it outside our house again as well
It was my species number 169 for the year yesterday, and then I got three lovely wood warblers (bøksangere in Norwegian) as number 170. I have only heard wood warblers sing other years, but yesterday I got to see them as well for the first time, right above my head.
The common whitethroat is a common and widespread typical warbler, which breeds throughout Europe and across much of temperate western Asia. It is strongly migratory, and winters in tropical Africa, Arabia, and Pakistan.

Wood Thrush singing - New Jersey
There are many songs of the woodland songbirds that I love to hear each Spring but most likely the song of the Wood Thrush is the one that always brings me joy and peace while wandering around the forests of the Northern New Jersey.
Here is an interesting fact about these birds:
“During his three-part song, a male actually sings pairs of notes simultaneously, which harmonize and blend to produce ringing, ethereal tones.
The Wood Thrush's complex song begins with several low, almost inaudible notes, followed by the rising, flute-like ee-oh-lay, finishing with a complex trill. Each bird can sing unique versions of each song part, and one male can easily sing over 50 distinct songs!” - source: American Bird Conservancy
