Gold To Me : Bird Painting by kto ART

Tropical Storm Flossie has come and gone from Waikoloa without more than a healthy dose of afternoon rain. With a piggy party already planned, we weathered the storm and had a great time with our friends that made it over for dinner:)
I took a little break from the Ke Aloha series today to feature my little Gold-Crowned Kinglets. I just love these birds with their tiny yet rotund bodies and flash of bling on the top of their heads. The male has a little orange in the center of his crown, but you can only tell if you get really close up.
I chose Ben Harper's "Gold To Me" for this song because of the obvious "Gold" connection between song and bird name, but also because the lyrics and beat are perfect for these little fatties.

Just check out the the lyrics:
You look like gold to me
and I'm not too blind to see
you look like gold

you make me wanna sing
with all the joy you bring
you look like gold

like the rays down from the sun
when a new day has just begun
you look like gold

I've been fooled before
but now I know
I've made the mistake in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

not the kind of gold you wear
but the kind that can feel my care
you look like gold

some shine when the day is new
but fade when the day is through
but you look like gold

I've been wrong before
but now I know
I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

you look like gold to me
and I'm down on bending knees
you look like gold
and I just want you to know
to me you mean so much more
than all the gold
you look like gold
