I adore your blog and read it every day. I do get very shy about getting serious but then can't help myself. I think perhaps you are right and we can all mix it up. I reassure myself that there are really no strict blogging rules. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-27312186697142581342010-06-07T19:45:32.635+01:002010-06-07T19:45:32.635+01:00Tania,

Your eloquence in speaking of the birds pulls at my heart as do the images. <br /><br />A reader pointed out today on my post that, in her experience, the topic is far too "serious" for blogland and subsequently, she has lost her usual number of comments. While I am the first to escape at every opportunity into the thrall of beauty and inspiration, what, pray tell, is more poetic, magnificent, life affirming, and yes, inspired, than these creatures who have inhabited thee planet far longer than us?<br /><br />My heartfelt thanks for your mention and your own beautifully penned epithet.Errant Aesthetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618929624889945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-40953977819335065582010-06-07T15:13:09.912+01:002010-06-07T15:13:09.912+01:00Caroline - such very kind words, thank you so much...Caroline - such very kind words, thank you so much.<br /><br />Mystica - and thank YOU, for your lovely and reassuring comment.<br /><br />Marsha - loved your post, and thank you for your always generous and delightful comments.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-87808988402509127302010-06-07T06:23:50.294+01:002010-06-07T06:23:50.294+01:00Tania, my new friend, how completely overwhelmed I...Tania, my new friend, how completely overwhelmed I am to read this post. While I ranted around about apathy you completely encapsulated this tragedy. Yes, we are all to blame. I appreciate the mention, however unworthy I am to even be thought of in the same sentence with you, mylady. sending xx's MarshaSplenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-73208802310918738662010-06-07T02:56:09.940+01:002010-06-07T02:56:09.940+01:00As Caroline says dont ever apologize for saying wh...As Caroline says dont ever apologize for saying what you feel - even if you feel that it is like hitting your head against a wall. At least you have spoken out on a subject that most people would just read about and pass over. Creating awareness of a situation is also important. Thank you for this post.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-57004135072867735212010-06-06T23:18:55.162+01:002010-06-06T23:18:55.162+01:00Tania, I have never commented on your blog before ...Tania, I have never commented on your blog before but this post has moved me so much I had to say something. You have encapsulated perfectly what I felt when I saw the photo of that poor bird, thank you. Don't ever apologise for being downbeat, even when you talk about serious topics you do so with a lightness of touch and beautiful writing that it restores my faith.carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167861082810621079noreply@blogger.com
