spring in the air

spring in the air
birds aflutter with hope
rehearse the dance

cardinal clears voice
struts around lady friend
it takes a while

Sorry folks,
no backyard photos.
Just a few observations from
my kitchen window.
The male cardinal’s weak song
needed more practice and warmer air.
The female cardinal
was diffident yet didn’t fly away.
Bored, maybe?
Not sure what to do next?
This photo captures
the tentative, slightly awkward, sweet spirit of the season.
