Gone To The Birds

A few years back I spent untold hours
each evening

 watching a pair of eagles nest 

and eggs hatch and eaglets fledge
on a live feed.

I gasped each time one of them seemed

 perilously near the edge and 

nearly wept at the nest covered in snow and winds blowing

 so hard that my eyes would sting in sympathy..
When they were calling to each other,
Howie and Justice could hear them
 and they'd run in circles and bark.
Indoor exercise

To say I was obsessed is a gross understatement;
me and a couple hundred thousand others were the club.

I stumbled across these new guys through 

another world conservancy charitable group
 I help and now...

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology 

remains #4 in my bookmark bar

I waited anxiously for this to arrive

bird of paradise project

and loved every minute..be sure to visit all the links

and marvel at the commitment of these men.

Reality TV
for real

Grab a cup of Joe,
your kids, your grand kids
 and marvel at this planet.

Sonja have some tea 

Z

Bunnies and Bears and oh EAGLES

...and a few roses ( maybe 30 packages?) YIKES!

Thanks to Beth I am now addicted to THIS

My studio table is covered in stuff, 

completed and in the process stuff, 

and I should not be stopping to watch Eagles.

But oh, just try to stop!

My computer is not in the same room,

so I am running up and down the stairs

 trying to get everything done and in

 a few hours I am helping a friend do some

 bulletin boards at her school for an event.

Some of the roses etc will be loaded into

 the shop but many are headed to a friend's

booth this weekend.

The timing is right for White Wednesday

and Bloggers Bodega.

Whew, I don't have time for anything else today,

I have Eagles to watch.

Now folks this is reality TV I can get behind.

To hell with Kim, Chloe, Snooky, Kate and 

the kagilllion others that offer up garbage compared

to this majesty and wonder.

Want to make the next generation care a bit 

more about the planet?

Loop this non stop at homes and school cafeterias. 

Consider this Project Genesis for April since we skipped.

...and yes it will return in May,

 so put your thinking caps on girlfriends.

Now I have to ponder moving the computer

upstairs to the studio. hmmmm?
