My first photo today is from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where a homeowner is expressing the solidarity that most of us feel for Ukrainians defending their homeland against a crazed invader.
Some other recent photos also make me think about solidarity — and how good things can happen when folks band together. Remember the WPA? Many of its works are still in use. New Congressional allocations will be doing some of the same kinds of infrastructure projects, thank goodness.
I loved the sign on the bank of the Seekonk River showing the power of “unionized” little fish in a dangerous world.
The photo of the pollinator sign highlights the banding together of neighborhoods in Massachusetts and elsewhere to protect honey bees and other pollinators, guardians of a healthy environment.
Looks like Providence’s official guardian on the river may actually be needed more on the road.
Meanwhile, encouraging signs of spring give us hope that winter won’t keep returning after random warm days. Still, winter can have attractions. Note the bluebirds that have been regular visitors to our feeder.

I love all the pictures, and your wise words, but I think I love especially the indomitable bluebird.
Me, too. They are feisty, beautiful, and just a joy to behold.
Those bluebirds are so pretty in the snow! Love, love, love that fish sign. And the flag is a poignant reminder of what is happening in Ukraine.
I wish the blue color came out as well as in your bluebird pics! Don’t know why Maine and Massachusetts are getting these beauties now, but let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth.
You bet!
The boat sign is just great! 😀 don’t know if I’ve ever seen a bluebird in snow before,lovely!
I do love bluebirds. You probably have a lot.
Yes, we have blues birds here,they like the open fields with nest boxes on the post. Great bug catchers😄👍
Good to know!
