Blackbird

a male blackbird hops energetically round the branches of the cherry tree, wiping its beak on a twig every so often

    I like the notice of wiping the beak.
    I always notice that squirrels put their wee paws to their chests like waiters with towels.

    I'm so happy that I've encountered such wonderful images with this project!

    Have a creative day!

    That is so lovely..... I'd rather watch the birds as watch t.v. They're so entertaining. :)

    I love a blackbird singing - could be my favorite sound (well..maybe after Sandy Denny). Had I not been offshore for most of the month, they could feature as my pebble every day.

    A blackbird sings,
    another day worth living.

    Juliet, you've painted a delightful word picture. Trees, stones, birds - also known as animal, vegetable, mineral?
