| Posted by Laura Doom on 08/29/06 at 04:21 PM I too love my garden, planted primarily to attract wildlife & I can appreciate this encounter, an alien voyeur with anthropomorphic tendencies :> Fresh, clean, yet intimate expression of nature hanging out with the neighbours. |

| Posted by Angela Nuzzo on 08/30/06 at 06:04 AM I can just picture this little bird bobbing on the line, cocking his head trying to get some response out of the clothes-pins. This would make a darling illustration. Very nice! |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 08/31/06 at 06:56 PM A poem for the birds! (lucky birds!) I really like, "In this morning’s blessed chill". Thanks for this, much enjoyed it. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/31/06 at 10:58 PM How adorable! I've watched birds and they do some amazing things. I love the imagery here and this moment of life that takes the reader out of the ordinary into nature's world.

| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 09/02/06 at 06:47 PM just so sweet and brilliant, this moment you've captured. i am so taken with the second stanza, but it's all fresh and lovely...not sure about the part in parenthesis, that took me away from the moment and the flow a little, but still a fantastic read, very impressive the way you captured the moment here!

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/03/06 at 05:39 PM Quite the poetic snapshot Kris. I love watching birds, and reading of others' observations. Thanks for sharing this! :o) |

| Posted by Mara Meade on 09/05/06 at 08:08 PM I LOVE the picture here - I see it! And I bless both "parties" -the one who wants to fly in the cooler air and the ones who want to still sit and enjoy it. DELIGHTFUL! |

That little birdie is something else. Thought I've found some new friends, even thou it was clothes pins. That would be something to watch.
I can just see it now, thru your words. This is so cute. Great write. It's a big hit with everyone. I also agree with the others too. It's going on my favorites list. |
