Song Of The Early Spring ...



"...Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon in the starry sky
Somebody bigger than you and I ..."
               ~ "Somebody Bigger Than You and I"
     written by Johnny Lange, Hy Heath & Sonny Burke
                    ~recorded by the great Elvis Presley
                                                    ~ 1967 

A robin sings its beautiful song in the early spring at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

This painterly capture of a sweet robin in March
epitomizes the line in my most favorite Gospel hymn, the beautiful "Somebody Bigger Than You And I," recorded by the great Elvis Presley in 1967.

Harbinger Of Hope ...


"The day the Lord
created hope was probably
the same day he created spring."
                            
                                    ~ Sir Bernard Williams
                                                               1929-2003

Though perched in the early March snow,
sweet Robin Redbreast is full of hope because
spring is near at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Lost In A Daydream ...


"I've been having a sweet dream,
I've been dreaming since I woke
up today ..."
                         "Daydream"
                                    ~ Lovin' Spoonful
                                                     1966

This sweet robin really seemed to be
lost in a daydream on a beautiful June
day at Trexler Memorial Park, 
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Up On The Roof ...


"...On the roof's the only place I know
where you just have to wish to make it so ..."
                       ~ "Up On The Roof"
                                     ~ The Drifters, 1962

This robin may have been wishing while perched up on the roof of the
Heritage Fly Shop on the Little Lehigh
on a June day at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Hope In Winter


"Stay, little cheerful robin ..."
                                    ~ William Wordsworth, "To A Redbreast"

I was happily surprised to see this sweet robin in the snow last week
at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. A sure sign of hope in winter!
