Baltimoreans, was anybody gonna tell me Johns Hopkins Hospital is surrounded by huge Juneberry trees or was I just supposed to discover that for myself

Felt i needed to explain some characteristics of a very common character found in an admittedly narrow (ha) corridor of the known world

Spring saturates the senses

in a Japanese garden, when

the cherry blossoms bloom;

folding moments of zen

around the laughter of ducks, as

they waddle their way to the pond;

seasonal echoes, resounding

over molded shrubs, stacked stones

& the fledgeless wings of solitude.

Conversation with my spouse:

Spouse: (finishing a sentence) “… walls have ears.”

Me: “Ducks have ears.”

Me: *deciding to keep going* “Do ducks have ears? Must do. That’s how they hear other ducks.”

Spouse: *staring at me because, unlike me, they do not have vast swathes of Good Omens memorized and they have no idea why I’ve just said what I did*

Just another day with the brainlichen 😅

what if i

[thomas--bombadil]

It is springtime. Many insect-eating birds have already come back north. But the snow sometimes strikes quite late. Many birds seen here eat insects and other small creatures, exclusively.

At least the duck can find some left over water vegetation and the bluebird can eat some rotten berries.

But what does the swallow do in times like these? Or the warbler and the phoebe?

I watch then frantically looking for food, that probably is not there.

The species seen in this post are as follows:

Wood Duck

Eastern Bluebird

Yellow-rumped Warber

Eastern Phoebe

Barn Swallow

Tree Swallow
