What a lovely poem and photo! Thank you, Stan. Also for sending us to your past two posts with such great birds’ photos and comments. As I said before, birds seem to have an instant connection with you, and always pose gently when they see you. It has been a tough winter. Happy spring to all of us!

I don’t see it as a “lazy poem” at all ! I like its being short simple and to the point.
Thanks, Alice. I appreciate that. It was better suited to a tweet, but I have written much worse poems!
