Robin in Spring Flowers

"Today is the day when bold kites fly, 

When cumulus clouds roar across the sky. 

When robins return, when children cheer, 

When light rain beckons spring to appear. 

Today is the day when daffodils bloom, 

Which children pick to fill the room, 

Today is the day when grasses green, 

When leaves burst forth for spring to be seen."

Spellbound

Out of the bosom of the Air 

 Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, 

 Over the woodlands brown and bare, 

 Over the harvest-fields forsaken, 

 Silent, and soft, and slow 

 Descends the snow.

-  Emily Jane Brontë

Robin in the Dogwood

The days may not be so bright and balmy—yet the quiet and melancholy that linger around them is fraught with glory. Over everything connected with autumn there lingers some golden spell—some unseen influence that penetrates the soul with its mysterious power.

Leucistic American Robin

We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.

 — Henry David Thoreau

Seen during my walk along Deerfield Trail, Blacksburg

A First for me!!!

I think technically he would be considered partially leucistic since he is not entirely white.

I'm not up on all of the terminology for these types of birds - but I must say

that I was QUITE EXCITED to see him!!

Now That Was Close!

If I can stop one Heart from breaking 

I shall not live in vain 

If I can ease one life the Aching

 Or cool one Pain

 Or help one fainting Robin 

Unto his Nest again 

I shall not live in Vain

- Emily Dickinson

He allowed me to get quite the "close-up" -
