Shadow of Hope

Black Phoebe at a desert stream

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

by Emily Dickinson

    I like that name, Black Phoebe, and its shadow and the reflections in the water too. Beautiful photo, Diane!

    You have more wonderful posts to great me on my return. You captured lots of birds in your Sonoran desert. I heard some in the Mojave but they wouldn't show themselves long enough for a photo. The wildflowers were much more cooperative.
    The bloom had yet to move up into Joshua tree and we didn't make it to Death Valley.
