The Bird In The Tree At Land's End

 The Bird At Land's End

October 25th 2018

The end of 2018 is coming up really fast! I say this every year, but it seems like it went by especially fast this year! I have a theory, that time simply moves different in Trump time. Some days seems like they are months long, weeks become years, and then we will have days when it feels like it was just 24 normal hours. It's a bit discombobulating at times. But in actual time, as we get closer to the end of the autumn season, and of course, the end of the year, I am having fun posting the photos I really liked from the last three months, but that I didn't have a chance to show off before now. Like this one. 

There is a tree at, Land's End, in San Francisco, where this special little bird lives, and when I am in San Francisco, near that part of the city, I love to drop in and pay him a visit. He never fails to make me smile! I am not sure who it was that saw the outline of a bird and decided to have some fun by creating him, but it's okay with me to not know the birds story, I like it being mysterious. It's just one more reason San Francisco will be a part of my soul.

This is the view, just beyond the bird.

 Land's End is a very special place.

The World Offers Itself To Your Imagination

Bird In The Tree

Land's End

"You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you of mine.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, not matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting...

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things."

~Mary Oliver

Believe it or not, that is not a bird drawn in the tree, that is how it appears naturally. The tree is located in the parking lot of the San Francisco overlook, Land's End. Isn't it awesome?
