Four o’clock slate skies

Buttress a hollowing cold.

But oh - a bluebird?!

    Love your description of a cold winter afternoon.... And the surprise of seeing such a bright blue bird. 💙 A lovely haiku. A kingfisher, very much like the bird in your photo, landed on my deck the other day. Oh! The surprise! So beautiful!
