I am a HUGE fan of redtails, Gracie. I see them all the time above the city. For no reason, I will look up and there they are gliding.
Just happened to see your post before I sign off; hope you and son had a great day... I'm sure you did!!

READ: Psalm 23
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2
Our office is a busy place where things sometimes feel like they are moving at breakneck speed. This often involves meeting after meeting, hallway conferences, and an avalanche of e-mail.
In the midst of this extreme busyness, I sometimes feel the need to escape, to decompress. My response? To create a quiet place. On those days when I have no lunch meeting, I retreat to the quiet of my car. I grab some lunch and sit in my car, where I can read, listen to music, think, prayand be refreshed.
I think this is the essence of what the shepherd-psalmist points to in Psalm 23:2. He sees the Good Shepherd bringing him to still watersthat is, waters to rest by. It pictures a quiet place, a retreat from the pressures of life, where you can rest in the presence of the Shepherd of your heart and be strengthened for what lies ahead. Even Jesus withdrew to a solitary place to pray and commune with His Father (Mark 1:35).
We all need retreats in our lives, not only because of the overwhelming nature of life, but because of our dependence on the resources of the Master. In our fast-paced days, it is essential to find a place of solitude, a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God. Wheres yours?

Hi, my friend! Those redtails are beautiful. I ache for them not being able to fly and do what they are made to do, to soar and swoop.
Once, I was walking into one of the canyons in the Santa Monica Mountains to go for a hike and saw a redtail swoop down and capture a rodent. Not sure if it was rat or possum. (Actually, possums are marsupials.)
There are tall eucalyptus trees on the hill behind my apartment building, and I would often see one or two redtails perched in the highest branches. But I have not seen them in a long time... sad they left....:(
So, how was your day with son...?
My your # 21 is ssssooooo cute!
Why, thank you.
