Birds
voyageur:
They mysteriously arrive around May 5th every year, as if on cue. They feed, play, mate and nest and as mysteriously as they arrived, the leave. Always feel such joy when seeing them again and sorrow when they leave; an empty feeling. Letting go of attachment, knowing that they will fill someone else with joy wherever they go is what matters; they are always so special!

Nice photo. Simplistic beauty caputured. Birds seem to create their own special joy and wonder!

Gotta love those hummingbirds. Is this the Kootenays? It certainly looks like it. When I lived in Nelson in the '70s the one thing that stuck out in my mind was the incredible number of hummingbirds. They were everywhere. This photo brought back a flood of memories of the natural beauty of that area. :)

In this part of the UK many birds stay for the winter and some sing nearly all year round. A robin in my garden has been singing its melancholic song over the last 2 months. A dipper on a small river alongside the garden has also been in full voice ( with the warbling seemingly matching the gurgling and gushing noise of the river flow - to my ears at least).
There is an old Welsh saying along the lines of "a land without bird song is a sad and lonely country" ( can't remember or find the exact wording).
