Pinned
Ah, Reality is playing dumb as we repaint it in primary colors I’ll bring it closer to you From there let’s continue dancing A waltz just for us
I went to one of my favorite places yesterday: Garden in the Woods in Framingham, MA. Every spring they have a special opening day just for members. Ordinarily I would have expected it to be busy, but surprise snow and a dreary, rainy day made most people not want to take a walk in the woods. Not me, I love that shit! I had the 2 miles of trails mostly to myself. In addition to all the lovely things above, I identified a pine warbler chipping away deep on the ridge trail. It's only my second time seeing one! Adding that to seeing a woodcock's courtship flight for the first time this week, it's been a very good bird week for me.
I submit these spring delights to @geopsych for the scavenger hunt.
Another great treasure hunt post! Wonderful things. Thank you, @howarethosenuts !
I have no idea what life will look like even half a year from now. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying spring bird migration so much this year.
I look at my records from other years: Today I might see a palm warbler. I go down to the woods and see a palm warbler. Nothing else seems stable. And maybe by next year this won't be either but for now I can check and see when the swifts will come back, when I might see a house wren, a catbird, a wood thrush, and then have a chance of seeing them.
Another thing: I used to want to go to far-flung places to see exciting exotic birds in their habitat. Now there is literally no bird more magical than the ones that show up right here in my garden and the ones I can see in the woods near my house.
Look! These are the descendants of deeply ancient lineages and right now they happen to be in this little part of the world with me. What an honour!
Maybe I'm losing it but it seems thrilling. We're here together maybe at the end of the world.
The theia mania of it all.. 💞🍀
My favorite 6 year relationship was that cafe… looking back on it I can truly say I experienced cafe mew mew the best way I could in this paradigm. 2013-2019 💞
Good morning spring.
