WORLD BIRD WEDNESDAY LXXVIII

GULSPURV (Emberiza citrinella).

It was very happy when I came across Gulspurv 14.05. 2012.

A small island in the Oslo fjord.

 Ærfugl (Somateria mollissima) 
Common Eider family photographed close to the island.
I wanted a close-up.
Maybe another time.

For still there are so many things

that I have never seen:

In ever wood

In ever spring

There is a Different Green.

FLOWERS FROM THE GARDEN TODAY

And while I stood there

I saw more than I can tell,

and I understood more than I saw;

for I was seeing in a sacred manner

the shapes of things in the spirit,

and the shape of all shapes as they must

live together like one being.
