Up in the air (sort of)

several exciting things to report on this week. First, look at my sister's blog. She wrote about our hawk-watching experience better than I ever could. Four species spotted in a half hour (a turkey vulture or two, two sharp-shinned hawks - and I don't think I've ever seen a sharp-shinned hawk before, though I've seen a cooper's - and the Osprey and a really clear view of that Kestrel, who came very close.) Here's the link:

Then, we went to see and hear U2 at the Meadowlands on Thursday night. Exhausting, but wonderful. I got a pretty good pic of the stage set, and my sister took some striking experimental shots. We were up in the peanut gallery, but it was spectacular, anyway. And I was really noticing the band's musicianship, as well as the showmanship. I really, really want to see It Might Get Loud; I love the Edge!

I would LOVE to attend a live U2 concert! You must have had a ball.

I hope you can attend one. They put on a marvellous show.

Just the name 'sharp-shinned hawk' sounds amazing . . . I'll try googling it now and see what it looks like!
