Birds

They LITERALLY make me happy. 

1- they connect me to my family. My mom likes birds, my sister likes birds, my grandma likes birds….we can talk about birds. We connect on a bird level and I love it. 

2- they remind me how to live. They live worry free. They aren’t stressed. They don’t have ulcers. Yeah maybe they had to fly away from a hawk….but you don’t see them sitting and stewing unable to eat because they’re so worried about life. No they eat. They communicate with each other. They take care of their babies. They go through ugly stages…winter plumage changing into summer is an awkward phase. But they don’t hide until they are looking fabulous, they just keep doing their thing, don’t care at all what anyone thinks. And God takes care of them, in Matthew 6:26 we are told that if He takes care of them….HOW MUCH MORE DOES HE LOVE US?!? Like stop and let that sink in. The creator of the world literally LOVES you! Thank you birds for that precious reminder!

3- I think could really get into bird photography. On any given day you can find me at some point with my binoculars looking at birds. And then it can escalate and I’m taking picture of said bird through the binoculars on my phone. Yes it’s true. I’m that lady. And now with out further ado some of my bird photo collect…because I know you don’t wanna see them all 🤣🤣🤣🤣 

Yes I might have lost my mind when I saw that painted bunting! Never had I seen one before and it was just outside on the red bud tree, a beautiful gift!

And because most of you probably don’t care this much about birds….here a few recent pictures of the boys, thanks for taking the time to read!
