Berried Treasures

Berry-filled trees and shrubs

Hiking in the Spring on a mountain side is a 

trapeze artist's dream when blue-winged warblers sing... 

They croon a Frank Sinatra tune as females faint into 

dreams of romantic fantasies and flights of utopia...   

Tree Swallows love a Bluebird Box and raise a flock 

of swallows to grace the Foxglove and honeysuckle vines... 

Mountain streams afford a splashing good time for birds 

and beasties that happen to invade the paradise found.  

Breathing the fresh air can be healing after a 

sequestered existence in the Valley below...

Oh yes, being out in the fresh air and breathing in the goodness is a wonderful feeling...especially when birds are singing Frank Sinatra tunes in the background! :) I liked the play on words...."berried" as opposed to "buried"....very clever. Another poem filled with nature's beauty, Pat. I liked it. Lydi**

Lydi... how delightful to read your review.
Walking and breathing fresh air has kept many of us healthy during this unusual time of surviving. To hear the Burds singing and seeing the flowers bloom is reason for Hope of healing ... believing that we will also be whole in Spirit and able to mingle with friends at gatherings. truly, Pat

Wonderful nature poem dear Pat. Outside in the fresh air hiking in the mountains. That would surely raise the spirits. So much wonderful imagery here, and I love the thought of your blue warblers crooning away to a Frank Sinatra song. Romantic indeed, as befits the season. Lots of nesting taking place at the moment. We have a very proud robin busy as busy feeding a tiny chick safe inside our ivy growing thick on a fence. So much to see outside at the moment. Take good care of you and yours Pat. All good wishes from across the pond.

Hi Chris ... thanks for your review... we have a Mourning Dove that has a young one with her to eat seed on the deck outside our Kitchen window. We have seen Cardinals with their young also. Yes, breathing fresh air is so important. Lovely to share our feelings across the Pond. Flowers are as lovely as ever... it gives us Hope. Take care.
fondly, Pat

they are actually quite important to us
all nicely written

dear Kay-T... thank you for your charming review. My son and his wife and two daughters live in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are forever going for walks in the mountains where they also go fishing in a Lake on top of the mountain. I live in Virginia, however, when I visit them, I fish in a Lake on the mountain where there are chipmunks and Ducks with baby ducks. Nature is so refreshing. fondly, Pat
