Welcome to A Special Place


Our world is ever changing and fast paced. We are faced with a crumbling economy, the ever impeding threat of terrorism, and natural disasters. We're bombarded on a daily basis with noise, traffic, groceries, work, school, parties etc. We seldom sit and rest our minds anymore. Even more seldom than this, we rarely hear or see anything "good". I don't know about you, but I think it's time for some breathing space.

You have come to such a place. Take your shoes off, put your feet up, grab a cup of tea, coffee or water (for people like myself who should be banned from caffeine) and take a little break.

Look Up in the Sky...It's a Bird, It's A Plane...Oh Wait...it is A Bird

Happy Monday everyone. As the evening comes to a close, I thought I'd post a few things that were pretty neat. I love birds. I think they are such amazing creatures. Last week I found this web cam feed and thought it was pretty amazing.

Right now is nesting season for many a winged friend. The two most fascinating ones to me were the eagle and the humming bird. The eagle cam is on 24/7 with infrared cameras for viewing at night. It is sponsored by the Raptor Resource Project in Decorah Iowa. The humming bird cam is also on for 24/7 but may be difficult to view during certain times. It is being hosted by a family in Laguna Beach CA. It is viewable on World of Hummingbirds via USTREAM.TV web site. Please note there is a 30 second or less commercial that will play before the feed starts. Today I had the opportunity to watch in real time both the eagle and the humming birds feeding their chicks! It was way cooler know I was watching the magic as it happened. It was surreal and beautiful. (Not the gross animal parts with the eagle tearing the food though). Hope you like it as much as I did.

Happy Bird watching!

Here is the feed to the Eagle Cam:
