Like the first morning....
Blackbird has spoken,
...like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world.
Sung by Cat Stevens. Lyrics by Eleanor Farjean.
I wanted to share one of my glorious mornings I had this weekend with you.

Tammy
Wonderful pictures. I would love to have a morning like that.
Thanks, it was beautiful. I always liked that song too. He's some kind of a nut, but what a unique voice that guy had! Blessings to you Shelley.
Beautiful pictures...I'd love to wake up to all of that glorious scenery:)
Have a wonderful day!
Rondell
One of my old favorite songs,... and your photos compliment it so well! What a shot of that chickadee!
thank you for sharing :) your photos are so beautiful...
i love this song... in fact, i was humming it just the other day on my way to work... the sun behind me,washing the world in golden light! this is why i am a morning person!
Wonderful pictures Shelley! I would like that first picture on a mug please, LOL.
Hi Shelley,
Beautiful!!
Love how you did this post!!
Now this song will be in stuck in my head the rest of the day!! :)
Have a Happy St. Patricks day!
Hugs, Kath
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I feel like I'm right there in the midst of all that wonder! GORGEOUS!
Good Morning---We are about to have our 3rd day above 55 degrees this year. Our house is on the northside of a hill so it's like the last place to lose the snow,but it is melting. We ran Ransom-- my sorta labrador dog---for the past 2 days in the woods without snowshoes. It's a huge work out, but just seeing him play in the snow is worth it. And everything just smells different than in the fall or the dead of winter. I've lived on this piece of land for 20 years now, and every season still amazes me. While I can't wait for the snow to melt, I'll be just as glad to see it in November again.:) Have a good day. Love the chickadee.
That was a great idea to use the lyrics to go along with your pictures. How tranquil! I'll bet when life starts crowding in on you, you go off to your "happy place" don't you?

Shelley, that was absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your morning with us...
WOW! WOW! WOW! Absolutely, an outstanding posting today, my friend. The photography is over the top!!
Now I need to go to your cabin, sit on the back porch, kick back, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Everything about this post is beautiful -- the music (and words) and especially the pictures.
Beautiful photos. Love everyone of them!
That's some kind of gorgeous morning! Beautiful pics, as always. I think we have finally achieved Spring.
Those pictures with that music are just perfect. That's one of my favorite songs. What beautiful views you have right outside your door. You are very blessed - Kady
Gorgeous! I can feel the crispness of the air and feel the sunshine!
How beautiful! That song is one of my favorites too. Spring is here ♥ Yeah!
