blue jay comes to remind methat we all have a place in this world,
a unique part that is ours alone to play.
a bold, bright bird with a fondness for acorns,
she carries and buries far more of them
for her winter cache than she will ever
be able to recall...and yet she persists.
now perched on the rim of the old birdbath,
with a knowing gleam in her coal-black eye,
she cocks her crested head at me, as if to say:
how many oaks have you planted today?

I'm always amazed at how we are on the same page!! Remember the last time with the woodpecker? I sold it!
I just received what I asked for:-) and that message, we all have a place in this world.. thank you!
it's uncanny! i hope you got a picture before you sold it - i'd love to see it!
love it - i didn't know the blue jay was a burier of acorns! this is a most beautiful bluejay mandala ♥
karin - thank you! the source image came from a photograph of a blue jay feather that i found earlier this year. seems like i've been picking them up all my life! i didn't know that either until i started doing a little "digging" myself into blue jay lore.
Very beautiful! Just like you!
awww...thank you my love!
i can see a circle of blue jays with their beaks open
baby blue jays maybe
nice colour combo
thanks, kel! it took me awhile, but i think i see them now. we had a blue jay fledgling down on the ground in our yard last month. he would open his beak wide anytime we got near. thankfully, momma and papa were nearby to help.
