sometimes you don't get a photo, but you still get a story! In this moment of nature connection, an American Goldfinch sings out of his tail feathers, and why all the best stories are worth repeating.
Love this story, Sydney. My mom has dementia, and it’s a good thing I paid attention to her stories over the years, because now I’m telling them back to her so that she can remember her life. It’s her particular stories that she’s repeated many times over the years, not my own stories, that really bring her back to life. Repetition is so important, so that we can all learn the lyrics to each others’ lifesongs.
Bless you, Jill, that is so beautiful. "Repetition is so important, so that we can all learn the lyrics to each others’ lifesongs."💕Do you mind if I share this comment? It's so tenderly expressed.
Oh my goodness this is so pure and I love it so much..I smiled big too! I love the little cartoon!
I watched a song sparrow on a tree branch through the kitchen window yesterday, singing his heart out. His whole entire body vibrated with the effort. I was amazed how the whole body is involved in song, made me wonder if I could be like that.
Thank you, Sam! What a beautiful thought, you will never go wrong by pondering whether you can live any aspect of your life as fully as a tiny bird belting out an enormous song!💕 Would you mind if I share this comment? It'd be so wonderful to get others thinking about this... :)
This made me smile so big this morning and I thank you for that! What a gift to have front row seats to that musical (and well-choreographed) performance. Thanks for sharing this story yet again with us.
Congratulations on capturing this lyrical cheerful Goldfinch, Sydney! 🧡 We are a family of four too! And between mom dad and my sister, I repeat my stories too!
Another beautiful post. Tiny little birds with their great big voices and endless songs. They bring such joy. I’m so glad you didn’t get pooped on. Grin. Love the artistic version of the memory. Thanks so much.

Yes please do share, I thought about sharing it myself too 😊
Absolutely the most important animation I've seen in a long time!
🤣Thank you so much, Jane! I was hoping it would be good for a giggle, and now I feel so validated 🤣

Oh yay, Laura, I'm so glad! Yes, best seat in the house 🤣, so glad to have shared it with you 💕
you gave me a new perspective on re-telling stories (over and over again) :-)) Thanks for that! Really appreciate it.
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that, Claudia! I think we lose that a bit today, and it's really so valuable!💕
Sweet, sweet story. I love it when I can see the Robin's open their beaks and sing ... such joy!
Thank you, Susan! So true, a Robin singing is the picture of pure joy!💕

Yes they do 💕Hahaha! It’s a funny feeling when you realize you’re in the drop zone, but all’s well that ends well!
Love this post, Sydney! The image of the tail as a kind of metronome is incredible!
Thanks so much, Heidi! Right place, right time, right singing goldfinch 🤣
Truly a Nature Moment!
Such fun!
