The Cardinal
This beautiful bird is one of my most favorite!
But sadly in this part of the country we do not have them.
When I was a child growing up we had them;
And even then I thought they were all dressed up for a party!
There is just such a lively and robust way about them!
I think they are always dressed for a festive holiday!
There just majestic and regal!
The King and Queen of the winter forest!
Because of my love of these birds I am now,
I am on the look out for some fabric with these bright red birds on them.
And maybe a picture or a bird figurine for the mantel.
It is interesting how one can become interested in many different things,
That may have never even crossed my path or radar before.
But I have taken a keen interest now!
Learning to broaden your horizon and interest is healthy and,
Keeps us young...
I always thought bird watching was silly or boring,
But I now think watching the birds and seeing the many
Splendors that God has created is eye opening!
We can become dull in noticing the little things, as we become
Bombarded with the big and loud!
These beautiful birds are so very cheery and bright!
I know this is the time of year we need to really look for;
Bright Spots in our days!
It is the time of year where the landscape becomes really brown
All colors are gone and things can appear dreary.
I hope to travel soon and I will be on the look out for these lovely birds!
The color red is such a cheery color!
I always like to have a bit of red in most every room of my home!
Just a red flower a geranium just makes me smile.
A red rose says lovely to me.
A red frame around a picture just pops!
Why we need to keep an eye always opened;
Beauty and color is everywhere, we just have to look
More intently...
Lord, give me eyes to see all your beauty and to appreciate it!
