Articulating clunky human limbs .

Why can’t I perch on a hidden tree limb to capture this moment, so unfair.

I feel it an accurate assessment that your determination to get the exquisite shot, is equal to the Barred ‘s in his meal selection . I would also venture to say that you also share the necessity of it. You, for the love of it. And maybe there is some truth to say, you both do it to survive, or a better word would be , thrive . I am so grateful to understand both. (I am honored to share my yard with a gorgeous pair of Barred owls).

“The world before us glistens and glows in rare, perfect moments, but we have no control over when, or if…”

Your words portray your love.

Thank you for this. I was thrilled to hear the Swanson's Thrush peep day before yesterday. Your paragraph describing my favorite bird is spot on and exquisite. But, this paragraph: "The world before us glistens and glows in rare, perfect moments, but we have no control over when, or if they’ll show. We simply make ourselves available, day after day. We show up. We give ourselves over to opportunities." It's a description of life's sweetness that I've been trying to articulate lately. Thank you for doing it so perfectly!
