Chickadee's Winter Reverie ...

“Our love is a dream, but in my reverie

I can see that this love was meant for me …

My dreams are as worthless as tin to me

Without you, life will never begin to be

So love me as I love you in my reverie

Make my dreams a reality, let’s dispense with formality

Come to me in my reverie …”

               ~ “My Reverie”

      ~ 1938 popular song, lyrics by Larry Clinton, melody based on 1890 piano piece “Reverie” by French classical composer Claude Debussy

        ~ recorded by artists including Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Eddie Duchin, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn & Ella Fitzgerald

Sweet Black-capped Chickadee seems to be in its own winter reverie on a rare warm February day at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

This North American songbird is the symbol of Massachusetts, Maine and New Brunswick, Canada.

Happiness On Wings ...

"Now think of the happiest things. 
It's the same as having wings."
                              ~ Peter Pan

When I saw this cute black-capped chickadee on an April afternoon in Trexler Memorial Park, 
Allentown, Pennsylvania, it reminded me
of this sweet and happy quote of Peter Pan. 

I Dream Of Winter ...

"Faith is the bird that feels the light
when the dawn is still dark." 
               ~ Rabindranath Tagore
                     ~    1861-1941

This Black-capped chickadee was perched on a winter's afternoon today at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
