May 4th ~ Bird Day

O birds, your perfect virtues bring,

Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight,

Your manners for your heart’s delight,

Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof,

Here weave your chamber weather-proof,

Forgive our harms, and condescend

To man, as to a lubber friend,

And, generous, teach his awkward race

Courage, and probity, and grace!

{Ralph Waldo Emerson} 

 

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply 

because they have perfect faith, 

for to have faith is to have wings.

{J. M. Barrie}

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

{William Blake}

 ~ I Love Your Bright Orange Feet ~

  

Happier of happy though I be, like them I cannot take possession of the sky, mount with a thoughtless impulse, and wheel there, one of a mighty multitude whose way and motion is a harmony and dance magnificent.

{William Wordsworth}

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

{Chinese Proverb}

Dare to be brave today, and trust that when you extend your wings, 

you will fly.

 {Mary DeMuth}

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if

 no birds sang there except those that sang best.

{Henry VanDyke}

 

 The bird, the bee, the running children are all the same 

to the sliding glass door.

{Demitri Martin}

Which is exactly how I got this shot of this female cardinal. She was still a little loopy.
