Quiet peace in the garden

A rare moment of sunshine in the garden, shared by a blackbird, who just lay on the edge of the meadow with wings outstretched, taking in the warmth (or allowing the ants to clean up his feathers and eat any parasites); next to him the mermaid just sat and contemplated life; the heron too just stared and continued his role of keeping any other herons away from the pond.  Me?  I just enjoyed a peaceful cup of tea.
