Three Way Connection.
I went out to put food on the bird table this morning. Within seconds there was a flutter of wings and a small bird took up a position on the dog rose a couple of feet away. A second one followed, and then a third. There was a brown robin with a bright orange chest, a brown and tan striped dunnock with a deep grey chest, and a black and yellow great tit, all forming a neat little triangle and watching me intently.
Isn’t it odd how an incident so seemingly insignificant can speak volumes of something you struggle to define? So why bother attempting definition. I expect it has something to do with connectedness and the beauty of small things. And I like triangles. That'll do.

Beautiful.
MM: Simple things for simple minds, I expect.
Shay: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've got it pasted on all my mirrors, to save scaring myself.
This is making me excited; for mothers day I bought my mom a new hummingbird feeder. We get two or three that come around about this time of year and stay through summer. I can't wait to see them again-though I do miss the great tit and blue tit that would knock at my window every morning in Ireland.
I'm sure the birds appreciate the simple things.
Hummingbirds and summer. Sounds nice. I had a spotted flycatcher (summer visitors from Africa) build a nest in the corner of my living room window one year (outside, of course.) She raised a brood, too. We were quite the visitor attraction for people walking down the lane that year.
