now when the primrose makes a splendid show,
and lilies face the march-winds in full blow,
and humbler growths as moved with one desire put on,
to welcome spring, their best attire,
poor robin is yet flowerless;
but how gay with his red stalks upon this sunny day!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see a robin and wonderful shadows ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see the birds our again -- that lovely promise that spring is on its way. Perfect words to match as well! Hope your weekend is going well, Robin! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletenot seen any robins but this is a cheery spring shot
ReplyDeleteThis little character seems a little unsure of his place in this still wintry world! Beautiful ambience!
ReplyDeleteOur avian friend is surveying the land as Spring us filling the land. He does not know that the worst of winter is gone for good as there is snow still on the ground - but the stronger sun and shadow beckon the warmer days of new nests and life. Perhaps he is a bit mre confident here...Happy Easter to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a joyful day when the first robin returns. I'm glad yours are back!
ReplyDeleteThis shot is another version of mine. Bookend shots!
ReplyDeleteRobin - 'rastas' in Finnish.
ReplyDeleteWe have them here too but I guess different from yours...
We've had beautiful sunny days but frozen nights, so we have still a lot of snow but it's getting better! :)
Happy Easter!
Hello Robin girl and thank you for your kind words !
ReplyDeleteIt is busy and in total dishevelment in this nest but it will be back to almost normal soon, yet not our usual normal .. but a happy change for us all : )
I am hoping better times have been happening for your little nest there too ?
I know seeing your name sake there is a moment of contentment finally!! .. and so let the robins sing : )
