. . . with a smile!

In the looking-for-joy department, I quite often find it out in my garden. I can always depend on the birds to bring me joy and delight, and now that I’ve conquered the squirrel thing (for the time being at least), I can even get fun photos to share.

As we head into the weekend, I thought you might enjoy some bird-joy, too, so allow me to introduce a couple of my goofier bird friends . . . Mr. Blue Jay and Mr. Red-Bellied Woodpecker. They are frequent visitors at all of my feeders — but seeing these big boys up close and in action – on camera – is always a special delight.

             

(That photo up top is a downy woodpecker by the way; he’s much smaller than the jay or the red-bellied woodpecker.)

I wish you all a lovely weekend. . . with plenty of joy, delight, and silliness mixed in to lighten your mood.

See you next week!
