Morning has broken
Like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird
Words from poem By Eleanor Farjeon. When I took this photo at sunrise one day, all I could think of was the hymn in my UU hymnal. I’ve been trying to get the blackbirds to cooperate ever since.
See more skies at Skywatch Friday, hosted for us each week by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and Sylvia.

A line from the second stanza fits us this morning:
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden.

Awesome Sunrise..what a way to start the day.

Lovely post Martha and piccies.
This may be the first time in the history of birding that any bird has ever cooperated. With anything.
Love that poem, too, though I know it more as the Cat Stevens song. It's wonderful how well it fits your photos.
Wow, what a beautiful sunrise photo. Love it so much
I love both pictures. What a beautiful sky and then to have the r-w blackbird sing his praises to the world. Thanks.
It looks as though the bird is singing praise to that glorious sky!
A very pretty sky and bird showing for today.
With your morning being probably midday over here, one would love to understand the relativity of time and turn it back to feel those amazing pictures self.
Please have you all a wonderful Friday.
Very lovely sunrise moments...

What a magnificent morning sky! The colors are amazing and I love the pattern of the clouds....they almost look like ripples! Great capture of the blackbird too!
What a beautiful bird...I love the flash of red :-)
Lovely sun rise!
And all along I thought that was a Cat Stevens song! Love the sky shot!
I love that song. First heard Cat Stevens sing it in 1976 in Canada. So Stevens just sang some one's poem.
what a stunning sunrise shot! seems like the blackbird was eyeing you :)
refreshing pictures :)
Perfect shots, perfect words (except now I've got that song stuck in my head).
Beautiful sky!
You have a lovely morning sky watching, a perfect photo. I like that song morning has broken.
Like your profile as well. I'm going to follow you now. Please follow me. thanks
Beautiful views paired with lovely words ... methinks I'll be humming the melody of this well-known song for a while ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
Awesome sky in the morning. Lucky you! Those orange patches really stand out on the bird. Thanks for visiting mine. Enjoy the weekend.
