Little red bird under a chair
Waiting for the crumbs to fall
Daddy said "Get a job"
Well don't you see, Daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?




Those are the lyrics from the Dave Matthews song, "LIttle Red Bird"  
I just happen to like that song, I'm not quite sure why. It came into my head when I was hurrying to get this picture before the bird flew away.

This little red bird happens to be a male cardinal, sitting on the branches of a palo verde tree.  Great contrast of complimentary colors.  

I do wish that Mr. Cardinal happened to be looking my way but you take what life hands you and you make the best you can out of it.  

Maybe that's what the song is about.

 
 
This past weekend was full of big fluffy storm clouds.  The ones that look like big fluffs of cotton candy.  Cumulus clouds to be exact.  They have made for some really pretty sunsets.

How can clouds influence your creativity this week.  Whip cream on ice cream? A handmade card?  

Be sure to email me your photo and I will include it on this post AND on Kathartsis Facebook page.
