in the moment when you realize
that the room is breathing
(or at least sounds like it)
exhalation/ventilation
the space is live
cue to cue
press play
now

heart strings

and then there are some days
when you find yourself
missing a little friend...

but in a good way
xo

you know...

it's another day with an
'extreme cold warning'
when your eyelids
start cracking

jet boy jet girl

a remarkable bird has been spotted in Erie, Pennsylvania
a cardinal with distinct markings:
half-vermilion/half-taupe...colour delineated down the middle
at once both male and female
the scientific term 'bilateral gynandromorph'
or 'half-sider'

they be rare
they be lovely

Plummeting insect numbers 'threaten collapse of nature'

OMG
what are we doing?

wispy wings

and i have to wonder
on yet another extremely cold day
how the little ones manage
how do the birds keep warm?
flitting branch to branch to branch
maybe huddling together
comfort and strength
keep on keeping on
solidarity in numbers

my civic duty

better luck next time

mercury

high -21
low -34

clear and c-c-c-cold

all about the friends

Nelson

farewell to the seagulls
on the ledge of the 14th floor
feathery wisps on glass
committed to memory
fly well friends

gulls on the window ledge of 1404
white
grey
mottled feathers
pink webbed feet
perching
watching
here and then
gone
