This is clearly not Bend, Oregon. If people carry the soul of a particular animal then I am a hummingbird, a restless creature that can not sit still. Consequently I felt the need to flit off and fortunately Tapirgal was eager to spend a few days in Maui to celebrate her birthday, so off we flew. Exhausted, but happy after the 6 hour flight, we found our way along a busy winding island road to the condo I had booked hastily.The above photo taken from the patio depicts the soothing atmosphere of tranquility which is so characteristic of Hawaii. I am not sure I can ever get my wings to stop beating so rapidly or slow my heart rate down. I am what I am. In the meantime I hope to relax, take some pictures and experience the ease in the breeze. We'll see. A turtle I'm not.
Have a great time and happy birthday to madame!
ReplyDeleteLee - we haven't met but I've recently posted a few comments on Astoria Daily photo. I also followed your blog the whole time you were overseas. You are amazing - and obviously have pegged your animal soul well - as you continue to fly away, fly away, fly away.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - quick background. Born in Seaside, raised in Astoria and lived in Bend from 1979 - 1986. Although our paths have not crossed, some of our travels surely have!
Relax, enjoy and please pass my birthday well wishes along to Sheryl.
