Mountain Bluebirds are
perched along the fence line,
unnoticed and unseen
by drivers hurrying
to their next destination.
I stop to capture their
smooth blue portraits.
Happy to hear them
twitter and chatter,
unable to interpret
their chitter and jabber.
Comforted by walking
in their meadow
between the mountains.

Dad: I enjoyed this reminder to stop hurrying and to observe the little gifts that present themselves if we take the time to look, listen, and appreciate. I loved watching the bluebirds & pygmy nuthatches with you & Mom today in RMNP. Thank you! Love, Sarah
