@idzie@kolektiva.social I live by an international port under the eye of a snowcapped volcano, surrounded by pine trees, where the crows, seagulls, and dark eyed juncos live year-round and the hummingbirds visit every spring and summer. The summer days are so much longer than the winter days that seasonal circadian rhythms conflict with modern expectations of maintaining the same hours year-round. The sky is often painted with grey clouds, but on clear days the sky turns a brilliant blue. Coyotes roam freely and deer walk between the shadows of the trees. With the mountains to my back, I look across the ocean.

@CorvidCrone@kolektiva.social @idzie@kolektiva.social I saw the shadow of a hummingbird on my window this week. I ran outside to hear the sound of a mockingbird and the high prairie grasses blowing in the wind. I looked for the bird in the shadow of two intertwined Juniperus virginiana trees but didn't find it. The juniper are one male one female. They grow as one trunk and every year they make lush blue berries from their love affair. The light blue sky was new after a few overcast days making the red roses glow.
