Sitting bird, outside our front window.
With the sun shining, I can’t walk through the kitchen without taking a peek out the window.
And what should I spy but a bird on a wire.
Are you a late winter bird?
Are you an early spring bird?
Let’s take your picture, satisfied sitting against the blue sky.
Through the screen I shoot with my iPhone 4.
And the result reminds me of the name of a certain movie-making company.

We’re seeing early signs of spring here in Florida – birds and their offspring. Soon you’ll be enjoying those cool nights, buds pushing thru the dirt, and new life. Enjoy!

😀 Mark, that’s the best way to spend a day. With a friend (2 or 4 legged). A night full of music and appreciation. Good ending.

Wow! Things are looking up around here too. Sun shining, weather getting warmer, and tomorrow this little angel is fleeing the nest for a shopping trip. Been saying that all week, but then having to wait for someone to come in for P.T., pick up papers for new chair, nurse visit, doctor visit. Now I will wait for no one. If the sun comes out, Angie goes out to shop. If the sun doesn’t come out, Angie will scream and kick something. Not very angelic, is it?

I hope you get to roam in the sun, Angie.

Blue sky? I almost didn’t recognize your neighborhood. So glad you’re getting a break from the usual snow apocalypse…or rather snocalypse? Alright, that’s enough. I better fetch some coffee before I create my own dialect in your comment box. Pardon my ramblings.
