Have been enjoying bird watching lately - so going to share some pictures! And maybe eventually get back into bird doodles too. It's on my list.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

I've seen plenty of goldfinches before, but never in my garden and never precariously balancing on my flowers! Ah! Sunshine in bird-form!

Washing dishes... looked outside to see 1 bluejay in our bird bath, went to get my phone, when I got back there were 2, took a quick pick, and then there were 3!! Didn't get a picture of all 3 and all of these are obviously through a screen window so @_@ not very good, but when do you ever see THREE bluejays all at once?

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
