This is so delicately written Rhiannon. Such a pleasure to read, especially as most of our pink blossom has fallen.

Beautifully written....

What a wonderful piece of writing Penny. You capture the wonder and beauty of nature. I think if more people surrounded themselves with nature, they would find themselves so much calmer and at one with this beautiful planet earth.

I've never seen a Blue Jay before, so it was such a pleasure to read your poem. I've read they frequent gardens in Canada, it must be such a wonderful sight with their pretty blue feathers.
Thank you so much for sharing.
