Bluebird

Could this be the bluebird of happiness I keep hearing about?

New snow and Christmas is over. Today seemed like it was full of possibilities. After shoveling the driveway, I decided to go for a walk and see what possibilities I might run across. I didn’t see a lot of birds in the dog park, but I did see this one hiding in the bushes.

Normally, I don’t go for birds. You have to get close or have a long lens to get them to fill the frame. As you can see, the bird is pretty small, but when my thoughts were on possibility, I thought a bluebird might be the right subject of the day. I don’t know where the idea of the bluebird of happiness came from. Maybe it was the most optimistic of the saddest type of bird but since the phrase has somehow stuck, I decided to use this picture. 

Hopefully, the day does turn out to be full of pleasant opportunities and worthwhile adventures. With all the possibilities, who knows what might be in store?
