I would love to see more bluebirds here in Utah. I think I’ve only seen a couple in the 30 years. I’ve lived here. Apparently they’re more in the higher elevations.
Beautiful as usual. I never tire of looking at your photos! Such a gift you are to all of us! Do take care. Thank you! Have a good weekend. Get some rest!
The photos of the new bridge and from the new bridge remind me of how much I like and relate to bridges! Books such as "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" and "The Bridges of Madison County." The play "From the Bridge." And covered bridges from my family's native PA. Bridges are such lovely metaphors for relationships, possibility, adventure, and the iconic "Bridge over Troubled Water." "I will lay me down..."
Thank you for sending us out into the weekend with your love and wonderful photos. Wishing you time to enjoy a spot of tea and whatever brings you a smile, too.
Thank you Karen for this post containing so many lovely images of The Real World. The cirrus clouds in your second sunrise image are exemplary! I used to build and maintain bluebird houses in a large open field abutting the property where I once lived. I still see bluebirds in the trees bordering a stormwater pond behind our home. Seeing the male’s brilliant feathers is a call for joy! Your account of visiting the new bridge struck me as a metaphor for living. Thank you again, Karen.
The November 15 misty photo is stunning, and the bluebirds are beautiful. So many of your photos would translate into drawings and paintings and I've tucked many aside for the time when I HAVE time, just to make art, after asking your permission to use your photos as inspiration. Always so lovely, your posts.
Mary, I love the idea of using Karen's photos to practice sketching!!! Don't know why I haven't thought of this myself?! Time to break out the charcoal and pencils.
Lovely photos 😍🥰👍❤️
Thank you Sharon!

Oh yeah, i don't think eastern bluebirds (the kind we have) go that far west, but mountain bluebirds are spectacular!

Thank you Sandy! I am enjoying a nice herbal chai right now.
Morning coffee with your photo essays has become my morning ritual. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sue
Yes, a morning without this newsletter is like a morning without one's favorite cuppa'
Thank you Michael

Thank you Gary! That's so cool about the bluebird houses!
Beautiful images, Karen - especially the one of the thirsty Blue Jay!
Thank you Neil!
I often think one can read a person’s heart by where they point their lens. An affirmation that kindred spirits abound.
Thank you Lor

I'm glad you are saving them! When you have time, I will love to see what you create.
I will love to share them with you!

Absolutely! And please share!
Yessss!!!
I am calling them the bluebirds of happiness.
Thank you Sharon!
Thanks for hopping out of bed to bring us beauty in the morning.
Thank you Leah - that beauty gets me out of bed and it's so good for me!
