Some Things Never Change

It's funny what you loved when you were little
is still so relevant to your life today. 
 One of my very most favorite movies when I was little was
 Mary Poppins~
Truly because of this scene
 &
this song that she sang~
 
 It seems to be near me and in me always~
 Today, I am still the same.
 I Love Love Love watching someone feed the birds~
And one day in Paris,
I saw a little man bending over towards the bushes whistling to the birds!
That moment was priceless. I'll remember him always~

    Love that. Pigeons remind me of being in Saint Mark's Square in Venice.

    janet I have always been a bird lover. I have barn swallows nesting on my terrace, and they do make a mess! They are so wonderful though, the way they swoop in and out!

    Dearest Beloved Janet ~

    Do you know Mary Poppins is one of Gaia's most favorite movies...and I often find her singing some of the tunes as we go about our day.

    Always love your tales of such simplistic wonders that make ones heart smile so brightly.

    Bisous,
    Melissa

    Oh yay, another bird lover!! Actually, I have to admit, I have never seen Mary Poppins. Seems it is an error I have to fix some time soon.

    Thank you for remembering :-)
    I like too to feed the birds - and I do it every day in my garden.

    Have a nice day

    Mary Poppins is a classic and one of my favourites too! I have a photo of me and my dad feeding the birds in Venice. I think I was 6 at the time and it is one of my favourites, especially since he is no longer with us.
    There is something so tender about feeding birds.

    I LOVE birds...and I have a similar shot of that lovely statue in Palais Royal, which always seems to have birds on it! Longer email to you later today!~

    I look forward to seeing all of the dear things Amelia hold to from now to her adulthood. I hope she will always have the heart of a child.

    Sweet post, my dear friend,

    Birds have a way of making photos come alive.
    Mary Poppins...it has been a long time since I've seen that. Perfect for a rainy day, like today. :)

    Daisy and I watch and listen to the birds each morning while having my morning coffee on the screened veranda. She finds birds fascinating! Hope your summer is going wonderfully Janet and how are those wedding plans going? Love and hugs. XO

    Hi dear Janet,
    I LOVE Mary Poppin's and the 'Feed The Birds' moment is beautiful and so atmospheric. I think that they captured St Paul's perfectly. We often visit the City where St. Paul's is and I always get chill's when we are there. Our niece got married in St Paul's and it was the most wonderful wedding. Actually, I could have got married in St. Paul's as my dad was a Freeman of the City of London !!
    Sorry if I've missed any of your posts.......I have been staying with my sister and blogging took second place. I'm trying to catch up now.
    Miss you too. Much love. XXXX
