Waitin' On Supper ...

 “May my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living.”

                   ~ ee cummings

                         ~ 1894-1962             

A sweet tree swallow fledgling waits for its mother to deliver supper to the nesting box on a beautiful late spring evening in early June at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!

Someday I'll Sing ...

“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

I spotted this sweet robin fledgling in the grass on an early June evening in Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, reminding me of the line in my most favorite Gospel hymn, the beautiful “Somebody Bigger Than You and I,” recorded by the great Elvis Presley in 1967.

Someday this little fledgling will sing the song God made for the robins to sing … and sing beautifully!
