Dancing Bluebirds
I love to dance so these boogey-woogey bluebirds are right up my alley! They were really cutting the rug this morning on the nesting box. I’d like to dedicate this image to Mrs. Claire LeBauve who passed away recently. She was a cracker jack dancer who lit up the room when she stepped onto the dance floor. Like her family, I truly believe she’s dancing in heaven and still sharing her deep-dimpled smile and her joy with everyone around her. Laissez les bon temps rouler, Ms. Claire! (I think she’d approve of the quote I added; a little bit of craziness never hurt anyone!)

Gorgeous card, Bonnie. And I totally agree with the sentiment. Agnes xx
Bonnie T. Barry replied
Thanks, Agnes. Bet you love to dance, too! Happy people usually do!
Kimberly Palmer
super cute Bonnie, very whimsical.
A very sweet tribute…
Bonnie T. Barry replied
Thanks, Kimmie. I loved watching this little pair having the time of their lives on the nesting box. The best part of the whole scenario was that today was Renee’s mother’s birthday; I didn’t even know that when I posted this tribute to her.
Glenna Walker

Glenda Remaklus
Beautiful beyond words! Fantastic Bonnie and such a lovely tribute to your friend.
Bonnie T. Barry replied
Thank you, Glenda, and may the bluebirds come back to your yard soon! They are such a joy to watch.
Glenda Remaklus
P.S. Since you already have blue birds nesting I was wondering what part of the country you are in? I envy you right now. These are the sweetest most gentle little birds.
Bonnie T. Barry replied
I am truly blessed in that these birds stay with us year round. They don’t migrate from here. Of course we see them more during the mating season when they stay near the nesting boxes, but outside that season they are still frequent visitors to the bird baths and their soft little songs can be heard nearby.
Carolyn Staut
How delightful! And such a loving and joyful tribute as well.
Bonnie T. Barry replied
Thank you, Carolyn. When I wrote this tribute, I didn’t know it was Mrs. Claire’s birthday. I know in my heart that the good Lord orchestrated the whole thing from start to finish. Thank you for being a part of the blessing.

Absolutely superb shot of two brilliant birds. Such a gem all on its own, but with the quotation added and then your wonderful dedication, it is simply stupendous!!!
I hope you’ve submitted this to more groups than currently appear here, my dear friend as it is such a visually balanced composition with a very special message and purpose, I think any and all appropriate groups will simply lap it up!!!

This is precious, Bonnie! Such a lovely tribute to Ms. Claire, too; she’s got a good friend in you. Now, about this little foot-stomping pair . . . do I hear Zydeco rockin’ in the background and the rhythmic movement of wings and feet to the Cupid Shuffle? “To the right, to the left; now kick and walk it by yourself . . . . .”? :-D Brilliant capture – so fun!
Nanagahma
Awe, what fun this must have been to watch! Nice dof and a lovely quote. I can tell that you were an English teacher. . .your writing is wonderful. I bet your students enjoyed your class!
Kimberly Palmer
Contrats Bonnie, on your framed prints sell!!!
Bonnie T. Barry replied
Thanks, Kimmie! You know how excited I am about this! God bless you for acknowledging it!
Kimberly Palmer
PS: and matted prints!
Bonnie T. Barry replied
And the matted prints! I’m still not certain, but I think Renee must have bought all these framed and matted prints for her family in honor of her mother Mrs. Claire! God bless Mrs. Claire and God bless you for sharing the joy with me!
