When I used to hear of the House Sparrow, I rather thought of them as common... Yet, when I view them, their beauty, especially the rich markings of the male, I do not think upon them in the same "matter of fact" way, but rather consider them to be charming chaps, and quite whimsical to observe when bath time comes round, for they are kind of like ...feet in first, then the head, but just a little bit, got to feel comfortable, then a little more of the head dipping and finally in goes the full body and splashing and seeming to have a blast. After a nice bath, it is time to sun one self in the beauty of the Redbuds in these images~
Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~
