Bright bird, blue sky

Northern Cardinal

northern dignitary
perched, peaked
feathers scarlet
perfectly poised
bathed blue
in January light


For the Record,
This day came in cold with brilliant blue skies. T took a vacation day. Festivities, friends and a funeral have left us both a bit weary and in need of a day with no plans. We had a leisurely breakfast and I took some photos outside while Raspberry stretched in the sun.

We signed up this morning to take part in a CSA , Community Supported Agriculture Program. The farm is about 12 miles away and their produce is delicious. I'll go every week to pick up our share during the peak growing season. Yum!
