167. Chickadee

While I was waiting for a store to open this cute little chickadee landed on the car just in front of mine. He is just so plump and cute, it made me smile.

152. Pink Flamingos

Welcome to Newton, where even the pink flamingos on the lawn are classy. This is one of a flock, made of stained glass.

130. Water Fowl

These three geese, one standing, one dunking his head, and one cleaning himself reminded me of the Three wise monkeys

.

117. Family Outings

Both human and avian families like to enjoy a nice morning on the Charles!

101. Graceful swans

71. Cardinals

While riding to the supermarket last evening I happened to spy a cardinal sitting on a fence. My grandmother's favorite bird (and baseball team) was the cardinal(s). Every time I see one it reminds me of her, and makes me feel like she is still with me.

38. Early Birds

This morning I was woken up at 5 am by birds outside. At first I was frustrated - I'd only slept five hours! Then it occurred to me, I can hear these lovely creatures, and now I can get some school work done before heading into paid work. Its now 7:15, and I've gotten dressed, had breakfast and finished a transcription that has been plaguing me.

I made an audio recording on my phone, but am having trouble posting it. Maybe later today :]

32. Duck, Duck.... Goose!!!

A lovely animal, standing on a step in the water near the museum of science

24. The World Waking Up

6:30 in the morning and I've already found beauty! The sunrise is an amazingly warm gold this morning, complete with these guys (below) chattering up a storm. Its starting to feel like spring, finally!

Did you know the chickadee is the state bird of Massachusetts? No lie!
