TINA and the Seagull




I struggle with birds, crows especially but a recent seagull near miss with my beautiful truck car reminded me of one of my many miss-stumbles in life.

And such accidents do sometimes have tree-soaring consequences!


Tina was a friend of mine, who helped construct a medicine wheel garden. She had the most beautiful hair.

A seagull flew overhead and relieved itself. Not on my bald head mind you but on her. I couldn't help but to break out in laughter. The look she gave me could have killed! He mother Eleanore also did not appreciate my commentary.

In my defense it could have been worse. At the same property I was privy to be watching the soaring of an Eagle above. It was so beautiful. Then it pooped. The vertical lift gained from that weight loss was breath taking. That movement lends itself to much commentary, I would think. I have so many eagle stories, someday I will gather them together.

As penance, I wrote a poem to Tina’s hair. It was accepted; I few days ago I found a picture of her. Today it is off to the photo place to get it digitized. Her Mom gave me a framed picture. It is of her and it is in my living room ever watching me.

Accidents do happen and one simply has to make the best of the situation as the next picture proves.



This picture came from a Canadian, blogging on an English garden blog. We were buddies. When they booted me out he wrote me the most wonderful, if somewhat excessive and glowing obituary. Loved it! I can't even thank him as they have "banned me!" Half of these blogs would have been flagged! :-(
