Winter can be sooooooooooooo long.

The dreary days have me dreaming of last summer

But—last summer is not the future

So I try to spend the long days

Capturing charming photos

Of winter’s birds.

They do lighten the days as they wing across the skies

Or glide carefully onto one of the large piles of firewood.

Shhh—carefully watching as

As lift-off occurs.

Birds, enchanting and spell-binding.

Perfect for getting through the long days of winter.
