The time of singing...

William Wise Photo Nature Notes is a wildlife, birding and nature photography blog documenting the wonders of God’s creation.

Song of Solomon 2:12 ​(The Living Bible) "The flowers are springing up and the time of the singing of birds has come. Yes, spring is here."

A small Carolina Wren bird, Thryothorus ludovicianus, sings from atop a pine tree in the spring in Georgia. Photographed in Walton County, Monroe. The Carolina wren is a common species of wren that is a resident in the eastern half of the United States of America, the extreme south of Ontario, Canada, and the extreme northeast of Mexico.

Tuesday, 7:45 AM - ​I had to make a decision to refrain myself from raising my camera and shooting yet another bird unless it is something new, rare or a really good photo opportunity. I have gotten so far behind on blogging that instead of being a stress reliever, it has become added stress in my life. I always feel like I’m behind.
 
So this morning, I’m just strolling and enjoying God’s wonderful sunrise and the chorus of praises from the birds. (But of course, I still have my camera with me!) As I’m walking, I restrain myself and pass up several mediocre photo opportunities. It is a challenge, but I can do it.

​Then I come around to the duckweed bog. A Carolina Wren climbs in stages to the top of a pine tree and just demands a photograph! How can I deny him his moment of fame. For spring is the time of singing!
