Bird Art - Grackle In The Snow
The world needs dreamers
and the world needs doers.
But above all,
the world needs dreamers who do.

Nest Building Mourning Dove
"Gentle Spring's around the corner,
Waiting just to show her face
And to bring us flowers and sunshine;
Winter's almost run his race!
Be not, then, my friends, discouraged
That there's cold and ice and sleet;
For Springtime soon will be with us,
And the flowers we will greet:
Daffodils, so bright and yellow,
Hyacinths of varied hues,
As they nod their heads, in gladness,
Telling us they bring good news..."
~ Gertrude Tooley Buckingham

Pink Hyacinth Buds
"Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees."

Wild Birds - Flight of the Tree Swallows
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.

Spring Tulip
I've banished Winter,
saith the Spring,
Awake! arise, ye flowers!
Brisk breezes blow,
Bright sunshine glow,
And rouse the young Year's powers.
