Weather Warning
A redbird came to eat today,
flew by the tray
of fruit and grain
as drops of rain
began to plop and plop and plop.
When each big drop
became a splash,
I heard a crash
and looked to find the bird of red
with tufted head,
escaping claws
of cat’s wet paws.

meet early on the mountain–

BANNER MOUNTAIN GIRL # 23 Birds
Birds of many colors
spread your wings to fly
upward to the treetops
on up into the sky.
Birds with sweetest voices
sing now across the way
begin a happy melody
in every heart today.

Eleven Image Wrap-up
Some of the photos taken for or shared with photo101 course for March 2015. I’m looking forward to using the photography lessons I learned through this course. Thanks to WordPress staff for providing this. 🙂 I had fun with blogging this month.
Photo101 – pop of color
This is my example of a “pop of color”. When this redbird lands at the feeding tray, his color pops among the dull shades of the pan, seeds, and other birds that might be feeding. This photo was taken in the “golden hour” after sunrise.
