The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be…because of all I may become I will close my eyes and leap!

Coddiwompling through life, guided by my love of nature and insatiable curiosity.Oh, My Aching Neck!
First, is the crick in my neck from staring up into the tree tops looking for small, flitting birds. Warbler Neck:
Then comes the strain from peering down at the beach, looking for treasures in the sand. We call it Agate Neck (which doesn’t tell the entire story but sea glass-shell-driftwood-petrified wood-fossil-zeolite-jasper-agate neck doesn’t have quite the same ring to it).
Thank goodness for the neutrally balanced pose called Whale Neck! (Yes, I know, not the best photo but the best one I’ve snapped thus far).
