h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm going to draw it with words. I can't upload pictures here so you'll just have to imagine it.

The ring of gold around the eye of a blackbird.
The flash of purest white on the collar and wings of a wood pigeon.
That glimpse of purest sunlight, when a gull veers in flight.
The fffffffff sound of a rook's feathered, fingered wing.
The hazelnut-coloured head of a sparrow.
An oystercatcher picking sand against the sky.
The misty borderland where cloud becomes rain.
Thousands of starlings, all at once.

Reasons to be cheerful. Things worth working hard for.

Birds work pretty hard just to stay alive.

I've been out looking at an uprising of morning glories

I could have put it better, the sketch of the rook: fuffwuffuffwuffuff. They sound like the letter f, basically.

before my house was moved to another lot, there was a fairly large blue chicory plant in full view the window next to my computer. I liked to sit and watch goldfinches perch on the branches of the chicory.

I add to the list: the electric blue shimmer when a magpie's wings catch the light.

Dragonflies and houseflies sometimes get a blue-green reflection that is gorgeous and dazzling.
