I read yesterday that birds appreciate an opportunity to bathe at this time of year, not only to get relief from the heat, but also to spruce up while shedding feathers and acquiring a new look for fall.  Here is the link to the article I read where you’ll find pictures of a molting Cardinal and the three ‘looks’ of an American Goldfinch.

My haiku uses the prompt words ‘sizzle’ and ‘sleek’ for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge #108. Please follow the link to find more sizzle/sleek haiku.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

    1. I just have to clarify, because I think you’re referring to the photo which is extremely well caught but not taken by me (Pixabay link in caption) Thanks for dropping by 🙂
