Oh- when I saw this I was so happy! I love redwing blackbirds so much and this poem is beautiful. Thanks! Wonderful photo as well – I have one of the redwing on top of a white pine on a grey cloudy day. He is singing and the wonderful red epaulets are showing as he spreads his wings. Love their call-so unique.
And the Across the Haikuverse post- words cannot begin to tell you-but I’ll try!-how wonderful it is to find such a place for all of us out here and there-
lovely poems,pictures,lessons. Will be diving into the archives to read more.
Hope school goes well-
Sorry to be so long-winded- maybe it’s the hurricane coming that’s affecting me-ha,ha!
Thanks for your posts,always-

With the start of school just around the corner in these parts I have always enjoyed the age-old tradition of “what did you do during summer vacation,” of which I can add the discovery of the Red Dragonfly. It’s been a fun summer of reading. (Now, where did I put my chalk?)

Very nice, Melissa

This is simply beautiful.
I’d never seen redwing blackbirds till I moved to Richland, WA. I totally love them, and they love the reeds
Thanks much, Don, Mary, Charlotte, Nanci. 🙂

Thanks much, Phil. Glad to have spent some summer vacation with you. 🙂
