I have reached post number 166 (if I've counted correctly) of all your blog posts. Started at the beginning and am working my way through...slowly. The comments can be riveting so I've been getting sidetracked. I decided to give you a little wave from here since it was written on June 17 and that is my birthday.<br /><br />On June 17th of last year, while you were galavanting on my old home turf, I found myself in the roll of caretaker to a downed eaglet (baldie). Somehow the youngster had propelled himself out of the nest (200 ft. up) but being many weeks too early to fledge, had plummeted to earth wedging himself between some fencing around our pond. He was darned stuck! Birthday plans took a decidedly different turn that evening as you might well imagine. Said baby, named "Darwin" for his brilliantness ah hmm, resided earthbound in our back garden for a long six weeks, finally gaining enough wing strength to leave us in peace...<br /><br />That birthday shall remain imprinted in my brain for the rest of my time, I suppose, so I couldn't resist the opportunity to record it here underneath your amazing story of serendipity and of following windfall. Many things fell in the wind that day!<br /><br />Now, best get back to my reading... I figure that after I've read your entire blog, start to finish, I will then have learned quite a bit more about magic and I'll have taken a few trips (vicariously) to farther fields.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-84593211197230015472009-06-20T19:44:19.776+09:302009-06-20T19:44:19.776+09:30what an epic walk. love those exploring wild days....what an epic walk. love those exploring wild days. as manya said, the tree looks like wings, or a deliciously windblown cloak. love it. can see youre having a wonderful time. xxcleocleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056926590980079579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-27363249121161599502009-06-20T16:45:50.419+09:302009-06-20T16:45:50.419+09:30so amazing!

I lived, up until 3 years ago, right near ( and I mean, just a block away) the nature trail that goes from the Sutro Baths, around the cliff's edge until you get to the golfcourse - I loved to walk that walk<br />thanks for the memories<br />enjoyLady Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797024837774358632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-18191744155131940782009-06-18T21:04:31.899+09:302009-06-18T21:04:31.899+09:30Ah that tea bowl.

Somehow you manage to sink your words and images so well to the feeling I get when I just get out there and experience the day without trying to control or be controlled by it. The textiles are really inspiring me.<br />You're style kind of reminds me of my favorite Beat writer and it's cool!<br />Do you post any photos on flickr? I really like the image of the tea cup!David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041580123414270092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-7040207989612727042009-06-17T22:56:20.875+09:302009-06-17T22:56:20.875+09:30Thank you so much, glad I checked before hitting t...Thank you so much, glad I checked before hitting the hay tonight.
