Birds of Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall

I have always been fascinated by birds.  They are so colorful and beautiful and free.  Imagine being able to fly above the earth and go where ever you want to be.  Sometimes I dream of flying above the earth and it is such a great feeling I don't even want to wake up as I know my feet will be grounded to the earth.  I remember as a little kid my grandpa used to have my brother and I sit outside with a box that he used to prop up with a stick and we would put bird food in there and wait for the bird to come for it and then catch it for his aviary.  As we waited my grandpa would tell us stories of all the different birds there were.  I would love to look in the aviary at all the beautiful birds, but I would feel sad for them as they were all locked in there and not able to fly free like they should.  One day I let everyone go and I was afraid grandpa would get mad, but he didn't he just laughed and nodded he understood.

  2. The birds are just gorgeous! I love birds as well, and your story reminds me of sitting my grandchildren on my lap when they were really little and telling them what the names of the birds were that they could see in the backyard. They loved it and still do!
