Sunset Vibes

Sunset Vibes
Sunset Haiku (Vibes)

Most hearts are heavy
As the world goes crazy mad
While aching for peace

When I took this photo I was trying to capture the beauty of the sunset. I was just amazed at how a picture could never match the beauty of the actual vision in the moment. But now when I look at the scene, it evokes a vibe of sadness. I guess its just the state of the world shading my perspective. It’s hard to stay upbeat but maybe people are starting to pull together. I’m sure grateful for my place in this world.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Birds of a Feather

I’m back! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’m ready to return to the flock! I spent some time on twitter the other day and decided interacting there is really not for me. Now I understand why people make a comment but then never seem to reply to comments. It’s exhausting. And not really that much fun to battle opinions. It seems like there is more room for cheer and camaraderie on the blogs here. Now, if I can just figure out all the format changes.

Winter is in full effect. But, these little birdies help brighten the day! Maybe they will bring a smile to your face too!

Sunlight And Shadows

Bridge Haiku (Moment)

Sunlight and shadows
Beckoning and promising
A peaceful embrace

Taking a moment to find peace and calm is a good use of time!

Stony sturdiness

Downy Woodpecker in My Rhododendron

Look at this sweet little Downy Woodpecker I spotted in my rhododendron. I love the little speck of red on his head. Glad he stopped by to make this bird nerd smile!

I’m so glad it’s springtime now for me! My favorite time of year is finally in full bloom. It’s a perfect day for birdwatching or just taking a stroll in the beautiful outdoors! I hope you all are enjoying your day too!
