"Red Bird"
Red Bird, Red Bird,
What a pretty sight.
Flying in the summer time,
Neath a sun so bright.
Red Bird, Red Bird,
Flying to and fro.
Living in the winter time,
Mid the ice and snow.

Good morning, Amy. I'll be answering your e-mail later this morning.
That's a nice Red Bird graphic, but I didn't make it. It's probably Billie's. :-)
Have a super 'Super Tuesday', everyone!

LOL
I had that Graphic tagged as belonging to you, Lori but
I kept looking at it thinking
it sure looks like a Billie Graphic.
Sorry, Billie. : (
Thank you both for all the wonderful Graphics. You are truly the best!

Morning! Looks like we're still
covered upwith snow and ice at Amy's, so should be a good place to post a graphic from a thread I did at the Finest (linked above) and a beautiful poem by NNB!
Ice Castles ~ 02-28-06
Ice
Water is a friend to us, a laughing, playful sprite,
Greeting us each morning, weeping in the night,
Sparkling in its banter, elusive in its zest.
Happy are the children who can understand it best.
Water is within us, and we a part of it,
We carry our own ocean or at least a little bit.
The red tide that has colored it tells of the blood we share,
More than all the breath we blow means we are partly air.
Our water is a food to us, and carries woes away,
And clouds become our cover tucking in at end of day.
A fever can bring fire to the balance that we seek,
And ever helpful water is a nurse when we are weak.
Yet even water can oppose us and bring its wrath to bear,
And crash upon our hovels when it teams up with the air.
Sometimes a sea of water overcomes us as a flood,
And we are left to wonder why an ocean needs our blood.
There comes a time when best of friends must pass,
Our friend the water turns into a stone of glass,
And frozen clouds and turbulence made into solid form,
And all the softness goes out from the thing that had been warm.
Yes, water dies and brings its own fresh flowers to the wake,
A petaled tear which gently falls as a snowflake,
Yet water has one lesson still to teach us and to warn,
That we will have a cycle too, and we will be reborn.
That we will pound ourselves against the rocks upon the shore,
Eroding folly and excesses in our never-ending war.
A fight against all prejudice and hatred til we sleep,
And joined with other mourners is the water that they weep.

Amy, that is beautiful, the red bird against the white snow. It’s wonderful how birds survive in freezing weather; I guess it’s their high metabolism? My Momma Hummingbird is in Day 9 of sitting on the nest.
Is FR slow this morning or is it my computer?
I fear my computer is dying....:(

Thank all of you for your contributions this morning.
I’m running late for an appointment but I will be back later to answer everyone’s posts.
FR must be running slow, it is taking me forever to get a window to open. Must be the elections.

Thanks, Amy - I find ice sculptures absolutely amazing, but the really sad thing about them - just as with unique snow sculptures - is that all that work by the artist soon melts. :( I can’t imagine spending that much time creating something so beautiful that won’t last very long.
The palm trees you posted are another gorgeous example!

Little bird, here in my hand, keep your children from the sand,
The topmost pole shall be your nest, shield your chicks, I'll do the rest.
LIttle bird, with trilling sweet, I'm glad we had this chance to meet,
but now, my mission must be done, and I won't stop until we've won.
Little bird, now we must part, your song has lightened up my heart,
Raise your children wild and free, and theach them all to sing for me.
