"The sun is shining, the skies are blue and avian song abounds through the woods and hedgerows - an echo, perhaps, of an express desire in the majority of people that, with peace in the world, this could be witnessed and enjoyed as a daily occurence.

Even the casual observer cannot fail to moved by the beauty of their song. The message from these independent guardians of hope is of joy, love and courage; traits they have telegraphed since times immemorial. Traits we could try to mirror in our own lives, and in how we interact or communicate with others whether it be in person, or by speech, sign, mail or 'online'.

Each feathered friend out there, be it the eagle or the wren, each in its own way, is a star."

Love the birds and love to watch them on the feeders. However sun is not shining here in the valley, quite cold and an almost mist common to this area in the winter.

Grammatic and composition errors though -tsk, should have checked - no doubt 'someone' will take me to task when she's back (SC) !!! Reminds me of school - "Could have done better", LOL (but without the bruised knuckles :-D :-S)

Take no notice of grammar corrections, MrD. My grammar always used to be correcting me.

On a fast flowing site like this, grammar and punctuation goes by board. And some responsibility on hearer to do some work. We had several spellings of a newsreader on a thread yesterday. Yet we all knew exactly who we were talking about.

Even have people apologising for dyslexia. Well, I have no objection if someone struggles to spell and punctuate what they mean. All I want to read are their views. (particularly if they are the correct views) ;-) ;-)
