To See A Mockingbird ...

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy …”

      ~ “To Kill a Mockingbird”

        ~ Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Harper Lee

              ~ 1960

A Northern Mockingbird ~ the first I’ve ever photographed ~ keeps an eye on spring perched in the grass enjoying a late March afternoon at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

According to All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Northern Mockingbirds continue to add new sounds to their repertoires throughout their lives. A male may learn around 200 songs throughout its life.

January ...

 “January is here, with eyes that keenly glow,

A frost-mailed warrior striding a steady steed of snow.”

     ~ Edgar Fawcett

            ~ American novelist & poet

                  ~ 1847 ~ 1904

A tranquil snowscape paints a January afternoon at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

 I captured this scene a day after a fresh snowfall and that reflects the canvas of winter’s quiet beauty.
