Sweet Simple Things

(House finch in Callery pear tree.)

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Hope you all are able to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.

    Lovely shot : )

    We have a male house finch that hangs around in our yard. They have the sweetest song, and are such precocious birds. They often end up hanging out with the bluebird brood after they've fledged.

    A beautiful shot!

    I have seen one of these in my yard this spring. It's the first one I've seen in almost three years. I hope he stays around. :)
