Fortunate are those who have bluebirds nearby...nesting, flitting with their wonderful colors all about!
So I have made a few with clay...and this is the one sitting on my desk.
He was thrown, then altered! Maco Stroke N Coat glazes. And yes, he brings a smile whenever I glance his way!

I gave a tiny Bluebird of Happiness to our new minister to welcome him many years ago.

We need to encourage ourselves to look deeply into all things in our lives to see the inherent goodness of everything.
...the "View from the forest floor" by photographer Carletto Delmonaco is a BIG WOW.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you named it, and the artist!
DeleteI like your bluebirds, particularly the departed bowl.
ReplyDeleteIt was for sale about 20 minutes before it was gone. Lots of work there in the painted glazes.
DeleteYou reminded me that I spied some bluebirds in the neighbors yard last week. No sign of them since.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing them flit by, and sometimes land for a moment where I can hear them sing. But never long enough, or close enough for a good photo!
DeleteThat bowl! A work of art indeed. The colors are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope whoever has it now has enjoyed it.
DeleteThat clay bird is a playful and lovely thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's got several other friends along the desk top...a dragon, sea shells, a magic wand, a tiny bird, a jeweled tree, a couple of fairies, and a llama.
DeleteThank you so much for this wonderful, encouraging post and those sweet birds from your desk, Barbara. My husband has graduated from hospice which means that nothing has changed really, just that he is lingering and hanging in there. He will remain at the Care Home but a different nurse will visit him weekly. This whole thing is so challenging. I really appreciate your companionship online. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of how the cells that make up my current existence will return to some other form when I'm no longer alive...perhaps to grow a plant or two if I'm lucky. The borrowing of matter for this lifetime is so interesting...and how all the parts of me fit together and function more or less...just chemicals and muscles and bones. But the me behind all the parts is not just the parts. So perhaps it's a soul, or a being which continues after death, or perhaps just a bunch of electrical impulses that make up an ego...but the sharing of me-ness is limited to just this time and place. So glad to have blogs to be with others here!
DeleteLove the bluebird and the bowl! Great quotes! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's a nice thing to think of birds, and then replicate their qualities. Who first decided a blue bird represented happiness? I'll agree with them.
DeleteI adore your bluebirds! So happy.
ReplyDeleteYou shared many good things again today. The reminders for how we greet the day, that is especially timely now.
I do hope that some happiness is shared here...we sure can use some these days~
DeleteI do like your little blue bird and find it very charming. I have some flitting about here and there. They are always a joy to see. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteLife still has its moments that bring joy!
DeleteYour bluebirds are charming! We have a number of bluebird house here on the farm and I always am thrilled to see one. When we first looked at this property fifty some years ago, a bluebird flew across the driveway and we knew it was a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThe little blue bird makes me smile too!!
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt loved the little blue birds that visited her garden. Enjoy your weekend . I am visiting you at Thankful Thursday
