CHRISTMAS JOURNEY…DAY 21


Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)
from "Christmas and New Year Bells"

HI GRIZZ - the deep blue against a Winter's sky is stunning. Also, my Mom's favorite color. Glorious.
As always, the words ring true and bright with hope for us all.
Love Gail
peace.....

Did you know a bluejay's feathers—and every other blue feather on every other bird in the world—aren not actually blue? They're really gray, but formed in a special way that reflects the wave length of light so they appear blue…which, depending somewhat on the angle and "color" of the daylight falling upon them, looks everything from a grayish slate blue to a vivid turquoise.

Still, one of the prettiest "blue" birds around.
