A doorway to other worlds

To me, the garden is a doorway to other worlds; one of them, 

of course, is the world of birds. The garden is their dinner table,

bursting with bugs and worms and succulent berries.

- Anne Raver

In honor of National Bird Day

a year of birds in my garden

 

What wondrous beings these

Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these? Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought? Whose household words are songs in many keys, Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The view from the sun room window this morning. I am home with a cough and a cold. Watching these birds was as good as any other medicine.
