The Top of the Trees

These first lines in Mary Oliver’s poem ‘White Eyes’ sums up best where we should pay attention this time of year. “In winter all the singing is in the top of the trees...” Today’s image shows the place where a migratory lot of Bluebirds were spotted yesterday. Although it was easy to observe them enjoying a snack from this Sumac Bush, it is never an easy accomplishment to actually capture the Bluebird; at least not for me. 

With the start of winter just days away, if you still love to spot nature, remember to look up. All the singing is happening in the top of the trees.
