Psithurism: noun, The sound of the wind through the trees.
It was windy out here on the Oregon Coast yesterday. The sand skimmed along the beach in its hurry to move south. Blustery days like that I prefer to stroll through the woods; not only am I protected from the gusts but I am treated to a symphony as the air rustles the leaves and needles above.

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!

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).
