Eastern Bluebird

Delicate beauty is all around us. Don't go rushing past or you might miss it. Don't be attuned only to the obvious. It's quite possible that beauty is looking right at you while hiding in plain sight.

That nests in the barn wood birdhouse in the garden. They're late, so hope they're okay. Haven't seen any swallows on the gourd houses either. Very late.

The Goldfinches on the feeders are starting to color back up again though. Spring has sprung!
