The Baltimore Oriole

He crashed against my glass stunned into silence he lay in shock, poor thing I placed him in a lined box wrapped in soft bamboo he rested and recouped Two hours later I found him standing at the edge, waiting We made eye contact I took a photo, then he flew away Boy ! he really made my day.

A little kindness, flies a long away. The expression of love, gives the soul wings. Wonderful, uplifting reminder. Nicely done, Vie.

I'll bet he left with a headache. At least he hung around long enough for the photo. Have a great weekend
