shall we fly south?

OK I happen to think this post is just brilliant
and nobody else but me left a comment -
hmmm...
does anybody else agree this is a great way to plunge into something new?
it just makes sense to me and I do believe 
I will try it with this new sorta phobia I have been experiencing this week.
let me explain -
here are various birds...
that I photographed while on vacation at Balboa.
don't they look happy?
well I do believe I am going to pretend to be them,
or more precisely,
 the canada geese that have already decided 
that it is time to migrate south for the winter.
do they know something I do not?
you see we have not really had a very sunny summer
(I do believe only 5 days just a tad over 80 degrees)
and I love living in the Pacific Northwest,
but I do require a gorgeous summer full of vitamin d 
to get me through our grey days until the next summer.
and I am feeling extremely panicky 
because I have not yet had my sunshine fix for the year - not even close!
this California girl (albeit 31 years living in the PNW)
is starting to hyperventilate and freak out to put it mildly.
So I will take Kim's advice and just pretend that I can soar south anytime I want.
maybe I can sit under a lamp to feel the heat, 
close my eyes,
hold out my arms,
 and just pretend I am floating above the clouds
with all the other canada geese honking around me.
it couldn't hurt.
and I do believe I am craving some grass and bread right about now...

  6. You are so funny! I think becoming a bird - pick a bird...any bird - is a good thing. We were talking about dreams we've had about flying so perhaps there is a collective theme going on here. One word of advice: if you are going to be a bird you must wear a crown!

  9. too funny Kristin...you know it is always funny now because when our weather is getting better yours is getting worse and I keep thinking of you every season change. the world is definitely getting smaller. now you get to look forward to summer so maybe i will just dwell on that. i could always come visit hee hee. i would definitely be a canada goose so i could fly in all those v formations - very cool and blue angelish.
