my best friend, now that she studies in a film school in the cuban countryside, took up the hobby as there isn’t much to do over there. she frequently talks to me about it, the quiet thrill of it, and all of a sudden i find myself looking up, frowning at the branches. i recently told her, half in jest (we were visiting home for the holidays) “what if we drop everything, go to papua new guinea, film the birds of paradise?” and she, dead serious, responded: “hmm… à la les blank?” expect the doc anytime soon!

never thought I’d get into birdwatching but my friend wouldn’t stop identifying birds when we hung out, so now I’m into it too. 2 love/be loved is 2 be changed…..

i have a couple friends who r into birds. like they just appreciate them aesthetically and put the research in. I'm taking some friends birdwatching this afternoon at a park on the south side of town. i hope my energy leaks thru the screen at you.i do't know anything about birds, but they're very unique and beautiful and i like that they're secretly dinosaurs
ps did you know that alot of trees aren't related at all and that a tree is just a shape?! no common ancestors aside from the ones that all plants share. love prince

the endings of great novels stay with you. a momentous rush that last dot, words and eyes speeding towards it almost with reluctance, until yes that world is done but something ripples out, a faint radiance or shadow, like the dark spot that lingers in your eye long after staring at the sun.

my grandmother used to call me that. it means, in puerto rican vernacular, restless child (i was fussy and annoying and tested her patience). but the root of the word comes from medieval andalusian: he with the faculty to find what is hidden
