Perhaps the element I love the most about photography and birding is not only what I learn as I go about those subjects, but what I learn about people and myself.AFTERMATHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041592685191226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-79343834132451771302010-06-06T08:25:57.696-04:002010-06-06T08:25:57.696-04:00Hi Robin,
Beautiful photos and story. I tried to...Hi Robin,<br /> Beautiful photos and story. I tried to post you a nice comment but my connection is too fragmented (satellite, and it is still raining here).<br /> Having a tool or a skill-- binoculars, photography-- gives an opportunity for a focus "outside", and when the inside is grieving I think that is a very helpful strategy. You gave your friend a wonderful opportunity to get outside of herself for a moment, and to see something beautiful and unexpected. <br /> CarolCarolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-1007013331180833612010-06-06T08:20:20.782-04:002010-06-06T08:20:20.782-04:00Wow Robin, this blog is right up there on the hit ...Wow Robin, this blog is right up there on the hit parade.
