So...
Bird names for me are often one word messages. Name four species of woodpeckers and you can take me back to a spring break camping trip to the Smokey Mountains, a forest east of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, a time share in WI, and the Monocacy Creek that I walked to as a teen in search of solitude.
Maybe going for a walk recently with Mosaic Woman on a path along a busy road during rush hour will come to mind if you say Red-Winged Blackbirds to me ten years from now. We stood as they perched and called out and flashed their red allowing us to appreciate their beauty.
And that makes these one word messages indeed. So where do nuthatches take me? My childhood home and the oak trees that soared above our house and the tiny birds that delighted me as they behaved in a rather unexpected way.
What animal name creates a one word message in your mind?
Cat = Grace to me.

Dog. It's the definition of loyalty for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love nuthatches. Cute little creatures. I guess I have to go with cat, too. To me it just means love.
