I so enjoyed these entries – both very fine examples of personal writing and observation. Well-done!

I was overdue to find out more about magpies, since I frequently encounter them when I go to Taos New Mexico to give art workshops. When we are on-site, the magpies seem to take EXTRA pleasure in circling the mixed-media artists below and swooping down, claiming a (ahem) “found object” from someone’s art table. The birds make a wonderful racket, and I’ve often coveted a magpie feather as a talisman to take home. Alas, I learned that it is illegal to possess the feathers. I always leave there awash in memories and sensations, yearning for
the “next” trip.
