To join in with Kan’s “joy is” challenge this week, I had to share some bird sounds from out back. The bird chirps were a pleasant sound when I opened the door to let in some early morning autumn air….
video deleted
Check out “all about birds” for identifying bird sounds –

The early morning chirps reminded me of a few other blog challenges this week:
There is a nature theme over at “lensandpensebysally” –

and this single leaf connects to NW frame of Mind’s One World Project:

and lastly, to join in on Cee’s Wednesday Which Way challenge, here are two phone photos I grabbed while walking part of Richmond’s pipeline trail (more about this nature trail here)

Have a great Wednesday and get out there and enjoy some nature….
Your “sweet visitor” is a bluebird, a true beauty. Delighted to have you join the fun. Happy Photo Challenge.

Hi S – thanks – and the dog bark was actually one of our dogs, Cody – he is “cool Cody” – but I thought it was funny that huxinderinzzi asked if it was a large bird- ha!
anyhow, let’s see if that inserting works again here…

I know – can you remember when a phone was just a phone… or wait, when it had an encumbering cord attached – ha!

really – that must have been crazy – I have heard about it – where you pick up the receiver and hear a convo. or you’d have to wait….
I remember “limited” phones to where each call cost. but my big memory is from 84 or 85 – when I paid my brother five bucks (woo) to install a burgundy phone in my room so that I could call Ron – who used to work the night shift – ha!

I´ve always wondered when I hear the birds in the morning,by the way great hearing them in the morning it´s a privilege I have and it seems you too have it, but I always wonder what in the world are they talking about. I would love to understand bird talk, they must communicate something….talk about politics, or the weather….who knows, but someone out there I´m sure know bird talk.
Have a great weekend Mr.Prior.

how sweet that you wonder like that Sir Spaniard- ❤ and some of the mating calls and warning cries are known to those bird watchers out there –
side note – I have not always enjoyed the birds – and I even took a water feature out of the yard because the birds were making such a mess out back – horrid – but now it seems that boundaries have been established and an appreciation has set in – thanks for dropping by CP
