Play with life, laugh with life,
dance lightly with life, and
smile at the riddles of life,
knowing that life's only true lessons
are writ small in the margin.

I believe this is a Female Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Not a bird a see very often so it was a thrill to see this one!
Pretty! Really like the angle of this one.
