Splish Splash ...

“Splish splash, I was taking a bath …

I was a rolling and a-strolling

Reeling with the feeling

Moving and a-grooving

Splishing and a-splashing, yeah …”

       ~ “Splish Splash”

     ~ 1958 novelty rock song performed & co-written by the wonderful Bobby Darin; it was Darin’s first hit and the song helped to give him a major boost in his career

A Muscovy Duck is reeling with the feeling, moving and a-grooving, splishing and a-splashing in the Monocacy Creek on a beautiful late May afternoon at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania ~ a real splash of spring!

 

Treetop Tweeters ...

“Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet

 

He rocks in the tree tops all day long

Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street

Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet

 

Rockin’ robin (tweet, tweet, tweet)

Rockin’ robin (tweet, tweedle-lee-dee) …”

A pair of precious American Robin nestlings in a treetop await their mother’s return with supper on a beautiful late July evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Someday these little nestlings will sing the song God made for the robins to sing … and sing beautifully!
