We had another wet cool down
but the birds don’t seem to care whether it’s coming or going…they are still out there singing their hearts out
. I have to admit that I’m glad to see the cold on its way out for a while at least
. We bought a few flowers…let’s pray they escape the curse of my notoriously black thumb
. Potted gardens seem to be our best bet…if nothing else it’s nice for now
. If only these things flourished as well as the wild stuff in the field
. Out there everything seems very hearty and self reliant. I love the sights and sounds of the pond
. There are frogs that relentlessly croak away but I’ve yet to catch a glimpse of them in the tall grass
. The ditch has been quite high with all the moisture recently
. The pastoral fields beyond beckon with quite beauty
. Birds of a handful of varieties chirp the day away
. Simple Montana bouquets flourish here and there
while we are like these dandelion seeds
…almost ready to take flight to Florida come Monday morning

Hi Joe, great post. I love your photos! The red winged blackbird reminds me of a photo I just took yesterday here in Montreal...of a red winged blackbird sitting on a park bench! First shot I have ever gotten of a small bird, they are so quick! :) The birds are so encouraging in that they sing no matter what the weather. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say my friend: great minds think alike! I love those birds because it never enters their mind that they don't have the most beautiful voice you ever heard. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteThe photos are beautiful Joe. Such beautiful scenery. I love to listen to the birds sing.
ReplyDeleteIt can be tremendously peaceful...when the wind isn't howling over the plains from those mountains...today was a very peaceful day...I needed it! Thank you so much for visiting Beth.
DeleteYou really do live in a beautiful area so surrounded by nature. Have a wonderful trip to Disney land. I wanna go too....
ReplyDeleteI have no complaints Carrie. It's quiet, it's peaceful and it always finds a way to minister to me. Florida will be an exciting change of things for a bit...maybe you'd fit in our suitcase....if they weren't limiting it so darn much these days.
DeleteI love all these pictures - especially the picture of the Red-Winged Blackbird! I haven't seen one of those for a few years!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend. Those black birds are real characters aren't they? I enjoy them quite a bit and lately there's not shortage of them around.
DeleteHope the weather is better by the time you fly out. Safe travels to you and yours Joe... :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much CarolDee! It will be a wonderful 11 days by God's grace.
DeleteI love your view and the birds. You always get the Red wings.and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have fewer plants but seem to be doing so well in the cool weather we have. Im waiting for the heat. Blessings Joe.
and
Have fun on Vacation.
Those birds seem to pose for me on occasion. I'm certainly not a professional photographer by any stretch but thank you very much Lisa. It's true the cooler weather brings wonderful greens. Let's see what the weather brings.
