snow on the mountains
and in the lowlands here too
birds sing "spring's coming"
anticipate-
_ then let go
into what's happening now
Click the heart to listen to morning birdsong from the woods behind our house. The white noise is the wind. I hung my mic out the window, not perfect audio engineering. Still their music is a promise of spring, that's what's happening now. And I'm grateful.

So beautiful, Laura, and the birds sound wonderful! Lots of the precious creatures in my yard, too. Yay! And a new brand of hummingbird, that stayed all winter this year, very unusual.

ReplyDeleteletting go is a good thing... we can learn that from the seasons...on the first pics the mountain looks like a wave...very cool

ReplyDeleteOh to hear the birds singing just as you are hearing them is a gift. Thank you Laura. Did I hear a woodpecker tapping?I am feeling elated because the coolness of Autumn is evident in the early mornings though the days are still steamy. Autumn is my favourite season. Enjoy your Spring when it finally arrives!
