Kenton and Rebecca, I am always amazed at some of the things you can find just on the doorstep, in the middle of a city. I’m glad you enjoyed coming along with me!

We agree wholeheartedly that the ‘wild’ is just outside our doors — and even in ourselves! Taking our hands and leading us on this adventure to see the Mistle Thrush really brought that home — if that’s what one can find in a busy park, what else lies waiting for us? Wonderful!

Good point Dr Jay, we are not separate from the natural world and it’s our greatest folly that we think we are.

You know even at the time, right there by the tree, I was actually staring straight at that bird for a good ten seconds or more before my brain would allow what I was seeing. It had that effect on everybody who finally saw it. Interesting that even in a photograph this bird still has it’s invisibility cloak working.

It’s not the writing or commitment, it’s getting published and promoting the work I wouldn’t know where to start with A blog is a pretty good way of getting to write without all that hassle… and don’t dismiss yourself, either. Just ’cause you haven’t written one “yet”…

And, as importantly, the wild lives within us…whether we know it or not.

What’s interesting is that I had to do a double-take to see the birds in the top photo…so not surprising at all passers by would miss them, particularly in our modern mind-set, in which we tend to see just about everything but what’s around us…
