I was out deep, deep in the woods with friends last summer. It was daytime and we were all sitting around the unlit fire pit, chatting. My eyes wandered to the sky where I saw something darting very quickly from one point to another, probably 12 feet above us. The longer I stared, the more I realized a bird isn’t frantic like that and can’t pull off what looked like impossibly tight curves. I don’t even think drones can pull off maneuvers like that. By the time I tried to get anyone else‘s attention about 15 seconds went by, and my friends couldn’t track my finger in the sky, and then it was just gone. All my friends thought I was kidding. I still don’t have an explanation!

with the added context that I was traveling via metro at sunset, so I was at bird level flying with them, pretty sky, even more beautiful moon, and the flock of crows
I wish I had gotten a photo to share but I just stared so transfixed I was incapable of capturing the moment in any other form besides my memory
take this hastily done artist rendition while waiting for my transfer and know that it captured the feeling as best as was possible

i saw a hummingbird high in a tree and watched it and then it darted down to a bush and i sat by the bush. the nice thing about hummingbirds is they’ll do a thing where they fly up and down to the same spot over and over again so i sat there for a good five minutes watching it. it was green and red and very cute i love birds <3 sorry i didn’t have my bird camera on me

🦉This is a solid belief of mine. these last few months, I’ve had owls filter in and out of my life in strange ways.
It started a few months ago when my cousin told me she had a nightmare with an owl in it.
A different friend, a month or two later, sent me a video of a barn owl she saw on a walk.
two weeks ago, I saw an owl in person for the first time. I was on a walk with my dog, and it flapped by out of nowhere. i didn’t have my phone on me, and i didn’t plan on going in this specific direction on my walk. We stared at each other. Once I started going WHOOO WHOOO, the link broke and we went our separate ways.
a few days later, was telling a friend about this synchronicity of owlz during a stoner walk near a creek. It was dark, and I decided to dip my toes in the water (as I am a mermaid for any body of water)
as I was watching my step among the slick coldness of the water and the invisible pebbles in the dark, my friend let out a soft scream- gasp. above me, an owl had flown by. she said it ’had been too fat to have been anything else’ and i fully believe her.
Owls are interesting. They aren’t my primary bird of hyperfixation (big on eagles and crows in my universe) but I feel deeply connected to the universe and its movements, whenever these sorts of repetitions enter my life.
I always read into it. I don’t care, I love making something’s out of someone else’s nothings.

My boyfriend came across these illustrations looking through a book of french fairytales (adorable) and thought I’d like them and I DO! They’re by Virgina Frances Sterrett and so so so dreamy.
