I guess this is the pose I was looking for the last couple of days. A little more profile would have been OK. Actually, I was looking for something else and finally gave in to the Red-winged Blackbird entertainment. Ready to move on.
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing
praise for the morning
praise for them springing fresh from the world
Singing Honeyeater, Gavicalis virescens

I had followed this bird for a couple of mintues as it worked through some pine branches. Impossible to get a clear shot.
It dropped onto the bush below, paused, gave a shrill call, and immediately dived into the depths of the lignum.
“Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind.
Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. And their roots give names to all things.
Their language has been lost.
But not the gestures.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiratio
This is the cracked rough bark of an old cherry tree
The tree was standing in the garden of my father's childhood home and had to be felled when I was a teenager. I can still remember the delicious cherries and climbing the tree when I was a kid.
My father painted a view of the property on a slab of the tree and later gave it to me as a gift. It is a beautiful memento : )
Macro Mondays - theme: tree bark
the bark of this slab is 2 cm wide; lit with a reddish LED-light
Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !
(I will catch up tonight)

There is an old folder holding many photos I took before joining FlickR. Now I don't get out so often, I will share these old shots instead.

The daffodils are singing in the spring breeze as they announce the arrival of warm air and sunshine.
I went to track down the Firecrests I found a few weeks ago. As you can see this very active and showy male was singing in the sunshine.
We visited this place a couple years ago. While the house has significantly deteriorated, I was happy to hear the windmill still singing as it revolved in the breeze.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!
(I have been away from Flickr a few days as I have been busy processing images taken at a fundraiser and a memorial. Still have more to do but had to stop by for a little Flickr fix.)

The lights are on in our living room.
The Tulips stand tall in their vase
The street are silent
And I feel at peace and full of happy joy.
Hope you do too, M, (*_*)

It was a magical scene, a flock of little Serin birds landed in my orchard cheerfully chirping. I heard them but didn't see them until I took my camera and this lens. The little yellow birds looked like leaves fluttering in the wind, that's why I called the picture Singing Leaves.
(distance over 30m)

Spring is here, and everything alive is out and singing and making a fool of itself! It's Spring!
