Lucy sits pretty . . .

. . . if a little akimbo.

Cheerful event.

The first sighting this year of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, on a not-bad day for March, was a cheerful event.

Cheerful . . . colour.

During an exceptionally lengthy spell of chilly, cloudy, drizzly March-like weather in early May, continuing to feed the birds provides a welcome and cheerful spot of physical, emotional, psychological colour.
