Autumn rain carries the music
Of endings and beginnings,
Tenderly and strongly…

Just Chilling... Early morning. Bubba The Blue Jay (Husband of Bella), enjoying the cool fresh air, of the Great White North. Stunning plumage. What a handsome boy. 📸🇨🇦

Before we speak, let our words pass through three gates:

* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?

In our ever polarising world, learning that speaking less, and only when necessary, makes us stronger individuals. Saying less helps water our inner calm. 😊

We almost never see a rose-breasted grosbeak. They mostly pass us by during migration, but an occasional one will find our bird feeders. #birds
