Thank you so much for taking us along on your early morning adventures. That swallow flipping over in a tenth of a second is -- like this post -- glorious!

Dancing with the swallows--I love this so much! What a great practice, to get in rhythm with them. And be changed by it. Thanks for showing us.

Hi Karen, I read a book about two sisters in the South USA, whose mother had named them both after Birds! One was named Avocet & she was the one the book focused on! Cannot remember the title. Do you have any idea? Kindly Kate

Beautiful post, both words and photos! We have a few birdhouses in the back. For a few years now, we have had birds make their nests in the houses. One year we had swallows. I had such fun watching them. One baby in particular would poke his little face out of the hole for feeding. That little face was so cute. I missed them when they left. Hoping one year soon we will have more swallows! 💜
