Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly!
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie. I can't even count how many times I've seen it. :0)

Thank you for your nice comments on yesterday's pics!!! :0)

Gorgeous capture! Great colors and details. The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie and that song is my favorite from that movie. Small world!

Such a great photo and a cute little bird

Oh my gosh, it's my ALL-TIME favorite movie. Every year when it comes on, my parents call and will say, "Guess what's coming on????" And I always say, "I have it onnnnnnn!" I practically know most of the dialog and of course, my favorite song is Over the Rainbow. It makes me cry everytime I hear it (that's so embarrassing!) SO, on a more photo-oriented note, your pic is the epitome of what my mom calls a "Bluebird Sky". We use that term often down here in the South. Wishing we had bluebirds here - they're so beautiful! In conclusion, I LOVE YOUR PIC! :)
