Singing The Blues

The bluebird carries the sky on his back. - Thoreau

outside my window

spied a bold, cobalt blue jay

hint of indigo

Author's Note

"This was sheer idleness to my fellow-townsmen, no doubt; but if the birds and flowers had tried me by their standard, I should not have been found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence." - Thoreau
