I read this lovely post a few days ago, but didn't have time to leave a comment, and now you have a new post. <br /><br />I love bluebirds too. We are fortunate to be on their migration path. We see Western Bluebirds twice a year when they fly through the nature reserve where my husband and I walk every weekend. I've tried to photograph them many times and have only had marginal success: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=bluebird&w=31150609%40N05<br />Yours, and George's, are far better photos, but I keep trying. The warm amber photo at the top of your post is also wonderful.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-39365541362417558592010-12-20T13:38:16.213-05:002010-12-20T13:38:16.213-05:00Since I use Firefox, Ruth, all is perfectly receiv...Since I use Firefox, Ruth, all is perfectly received and viewed. However, I must say that whenever I use wrapping in my own posts, I will always check them out in IE before I post them, for exactly the reason you described.

It's a great image for this writing practice, which does need care and attention, and protection too. Thank you for that.<br /><br />I just painted some cardinals on wooden ornaments, speaking of synchronicity, my friend, they are among my very favorites, probably a close second to bluebirds.<br /><br />I'm glad the blog looks fine for you in IE.

I learned about the blue throat chakra just the other night in a yoga class...I hadn't read the first bluebird post, so did that, and I love the expression on his little face, as though <i>you</i> were the "intruder" and not the bird!<br /><br />Your poem is as always, rich and entrancing.

My husband called me to the window two days ago – there was a bluebird in the back yard. You know people say that French sounds much better, but in truth “bluebird” sounds lovely and “oiseau bleu” not so much…actually I think in French the bird is called “un merle bleu” which is a bit better, but not as melodic as “bluebird.” I am not sure if they come to France – I saw a picture of one, but it is in Quebec – here: http://fr.treknature.com/gallery/North_America/Canada/Central/photo217572.htmVagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-82698130254897141692010-12-19T20:15:39.875-05:002010-12-19T20:15:39.875-05:00The first picture gave me pause, I thought it was ...The first picture gave me pause, I thought it was a real bird for a moment, convinced, even, perched by a candle, I didn't understand why there was a piece of paper, folded like a card behind it.

It is so interesting how they "lead" us down the road by flying a little ahead of us and then landing on the electric lines, over and over. Alas, we can't attract them to our yard, despite the many houses David has built...too many trees. The Carolina wrens and titmice love them, though.<br /><br />I just got my MacBook Pro as my early Christmas gift. I may need some tutoring in Garage Band. I've always wanted to record the songs I sing to the grandkids, so they will still have them for their children some day when I'm gone.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.com
