Mockingbird Heading to the Feeder

Every one of us has in him a continent of undiscovered character. Blessed is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul.

I put some grapes out in the feeder wreath (on the left). Mr. Mocker looked very sly heading over to grab a few. Image taken 02-15-12

Mockingbird - His Eye On the Prize

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

~Wayne Dyer

I am so excited about this! -

Did you know that you can “check out” books from the library for your Kindle? (or other e-reader) I think that is sooooo cool!! I have found LOTS of new authors that way. Check with your local library – you can probably pull up their website online and see if the offer e-books. I must say it’s opened up a Whole New World of reading for me!! I would LOVE to hear if you own a Kindle/Nook/e-reader and are currently doing this.

Mockingbird and Autumn Bokeh

May the sun shine all day long,

everything go right and nothing wrong.

May those you love bring love back to you,

and may all the wishes you wish come true!

~ Irish Blessing

About the image: Mockingbird on the fence - Taken 11-03-11 along Deerfield Trail - one of my favorite walking trails. Shooting into the sunlight is not always a good thing - but I liked the bokeh that developed in this one. For more info on Bokeh - click HERE

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life. ~William Arthur Ward

Friday Feathers ~ Bird and Blossoms

Mockingbird among the blossoms on the tree in my backyard ~ April 2010.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~Anne Bradstreet

Sometimes I think one of the best parts of Spring is the "looking forward to it" part :)

Happy Friday my Friends!

Time for a Bite

Not a perfect shot but I liked that I captured the mockingbird grabbing a bite to eat :)

A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault. ~John Henry Newman

Wings on Wednesday & A Song in the Air

Then from the neighboring thicket the mockingbird, wildest of singers, Swinging aloft on a willow spray that hung o'er the water. Shook from his little throat such floods of delirious music, That the whole air and the woods and the waves seemed silent to listen. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Here is a LINK to the beautiful songs of the Mockingbird.
