Spring's Blues

Scilia
An early splash
of blue
every spring



Black Cap

 

A jaunty hat
Wears the Black Cap
A sprightly fellow
So full of life
Hopping along so smartly
Singing a song
So simple and clear
He is the Chickadee dee dee dee

~JE Ted Gardner



White Throated Sparrow

 

Listen closely in the Spring

and summer in woodland areas

you will hear the White Throated Sparrow's call

 

"Sweet Canada Canada Canada"

 

 

 



Brothers

 

Your Photographer and his Brother

Ted and Dan

so many years ago

 

Images taken by our Pop and Gramps

 

 



The Cleaner

 

Above all that is life

Soars the Cleaner

Silent, nary a wing beat

Quietly removing

The blemishes on our perfect world

Natures custodian

a sanitized nature, so perfect to the eye 

How false we are

To expect the same in our human existence
Our Cleaner just might smite us all

time and season some beauties of its own"
