The Famous "Robins"...

...We All Know &/or Love So Well.

Batman & ROBIN have been icons in our lives since the 1940's. They have appeared in the comics, as TV series and on the big screen in several versions. Everyone adores the sweet youthful face of Batman's sidekick~the popular~ROBIN.








The distinguished ROBIN Williams landed in our laps, in 1978, as an alien who came to Earth from the planet Ork in a large egg-shaped space ship via "Mork & Mindy".
ROBIN has been a welcomed 'visitor' in our lives as a comedian/actor extraordinaire!
Who doesn't welcome ROBIN Williams on their screens?
I, personally, would welcome him into my home!

We shall never forget the legend of the notorious ROBIN Hood!
The triumph of good over evil!
The robbing of the rich to give to the poor!
There is a mystical vision, a magical interpretation that has been woven into the rich tapestry of who ROBIN Hood truly is.
I have alwys wanted 'to believe' that he existed.
History records indicate it would have been sometime in the 13th. Century.
~If ROBIN Hood truly existed~








Becoming stranded on a beautiful island in 1894, through the words of Daniel Devoe, is the story of the illustrious ROBINson Crusoe.

Since childhood, this story has continued to intrigue me. I read the words, I saw the movies, and watched the TV series ...always "dreaming" of such a place, a life, such isolation...even with pirates and palm trees!
ROBINson Crusoe has remained an intricate part of who I am, why I am.

My earliest recollection of the most celebrated ROBIN of all,

is that of the North American songbird (Turdus migratorius) having a rust-red breast and gray and black upper plumage.

I have listened to, and cherished, their music since I can remember flitting in the gardens as a toddler.

Their appearance and their songs have a hint of magical wonder.

They were, and always will be, indicators that brighter and better days will soon be enjoyed.

I can never forget my childhood friend, neighbor

and "partner in crime" was ROBIN.

We shared wild adventures, invisible games;

explored the forbidden forests and beaches.

We were inseperable and enjoyed years of friendship.

So when my favorite ROBIN...showed up last Friday, I was elated! Memories of wonderment, laughter and good times overwhelmed me.

I lit up like a child on Christmas morn!

I danced with joy and heard music in my ears!

None other than~

The Redbreasted ROBIN!

(aka North American Songbird)

Along with 15 others!

(which as you know, with my camera that only holds two pictures now,

and is worthless...

Nope, the 'photographer' is not worthless, just the camera!

you'll have to take my word on that...on both...)

I checked my garden journal and they arrived 6 days later than last year.

Is there any great significance to their arrival?

For me there is....
