As I stare at my computer monitor, the birds come up to the window where it is located.
Sometimes they bang into the window, not knowing it is there, most often they perch on the branches outside the window chirping, fluffing and carrying
on.
And, no, I don't have any pictures to share. I must be the last person in the Western or Eastern world that doesn't have an iPhone - this is just an
expression, not a complaint.
And if I did have one, then I would have to figure out how to upload photos, so right now my life remains less complicated.
So, I craft words instead of images to share with y'all.Osprey - 5-7-2012 at 01:02 PM
I wish I had a picture of you sitting there by the window. I can feel, more than see the frustration lines in your face, your consternation at not
having the tools handy to show us what wonderful things you see and not knowing how, where to begin to do what thousands of people are sharing across
the ether this very second. I think I see the face of a woman who believes she is being left behind, losing the joy others spread about like chaff on
the winds of friendly discourse. I feel the pain throbbing through the veins in the long, weathered neck, the .......
Wait. The birds. Tell us more about the birds.

My reply was posted in advance to the requests for pictures that I can't supply.
When my mind's eye becomes telepathically enabled, digitized and linked to the internet, then I will post the pics.
About the Birds, Birds, Birds

White sea gulls by the hundreds, brown pelicans in almost the same amounts, black cormorants doing the clothesline-dry-out on the arch, sandpipers and
other shorebirds (the ones with upside-down bills) hunting and feasting in the sand. Mourning doves and pigeons cooing from their nests in the
cliffs.
White egret fledglings hunting gophers in our lawn. They will stand like a statue for forty minutes, just waiting for the perfect strike.
Juvenile ravens practicing aerobatics, lifting and tumbling on the very strong wind rising up off the cliff
It seems like there a lot more young birds this spring; they fill my heart with joy.BajaBlanca - 5-7-2012 at 02:10 PM

Pictures can get tiring...I like the picture you drew with words.
