RE: Love Gloves

I wanna see this in person! 😒😍😒😍 (The emoji choices are seriously lacking. Please imagine these two combined.)
And yet you made me feel like I was there. Especially that bit about the fingerless glove. Nicely done.

This is a weird looking cat, though.

Thanks! I was attempting to bring the sense of being there into this post. It's all gone now though 😞, only in pictures. It was a sight to see.

This is a weird looking cat, though.

Totally weird cat, looks and all, always hiding fuzzed out behind the camera. πŸ˜‚

Where are you? Are you on my side of the coast? (I'm in Portland but you probably already knew that because you seem like the type to read a profile.)

πŸ˜‚ I couldn't help throwing that little chuckle in there. I love crows, once met one that someone took in because it only had one leg, crazy smart birds, highly intuitive.

They AARRRRRRE so wicked smart. I love the way they watch me when I show them how to do something, like open a pistachio or walnut. My dog, well, I love him and he's also very smart in his own way, but when I show him how to do something he has no idea that I'm showing him how to do something. He just wants to eat it.

LOL, your dog, too funny in comparison to a crow. Yes, they watch everything. Very sharp birds. You should have seen the size of the ones way north of where I am. Just a bit bigger than a football.

Ravens are closely related, love those too. Then there's the hawks where I live. I don't have pictures, never had my camera at some awesome moments, but some good stories. I constantly watch them here. Oh, Canada geese are pretty ferocious, lots of those here and I don't get within biting range.

We get some Canada geese down here, too. Once when I was on the waterfront waiting for the crows to come roost, a mother was letting her two wild children chase them. I yelled out to the kids that geese bite, but they were tourists from another land and didn't know wtf I was saying. The geese were merciful and ran away. Those kids were seriously lucky. There were sooooo many of them. Kids coulda been mobbed, easily.

I WANNA HEAR YOUR CROW STORIES!!! Make a post and I'll upvote reblog comment upvote comments.

You get them there too, LOL! Oh yeah, no child needs to experience an attack from geese. I've often thought they'd be better guard dogs than a dog.

Hahaha! I don't have super interesting crow stories, just the one-legged crow I told you about. I have a couple wild ones about hawks. The rest are all mundane and wouldn't mean anything to anyone except me. I need photos if I do the hawk stories and I seem to radically fail when it comes to photographing birds. Others do that so much better than I could, imo.

And me. Seriously. But no pressure.

And yeah, taking bird photos requires a certain amount of neurotic obsession patience.

Lol, I wouldn't take that as pressure coming from you, doesn't seem to be your style at all.

In all seriousness, I'm connected to raven, so ravens will often bring me messages (not light ones either). Crows also an affinity due to connection to raven. So it's those kind of stories.

The hawks, lots there, some okay for public consumption, some too private.

I think birds don't want me photographing them, for whatever reason, no matter what I do. I've been trying for many years and still haven't given up. Neurotic obsession? πŸ˜‚

Neurotic Obsession. πŸ‘
Raven is a very strong symbol! I would be connected to raven if we had them here, but the closest I know of that are social are out by the mountain. Technically I signed my soul over to them on Thanksgiving weekend last year, but I haven't been back to see them since. Meanwhile, I hang out with the miniraven trashdigger champions of Portland that try and run all the hawks out of town.
Actually saw them run a raven out of town once, too. I don't remember if I already said in this thread and I'm too lazy to check.
ALSO, crows have very strong symbolism for me, too. They've kept me sane and connected me to two other witchy pagan crow people people that live far away om other parts of the planet.

Ravens hang out where the mountains are. I'm not close to mountains now, so I don't see them unless I go where they are.

You signed your soul over to raven? I need to know that story. Miniraven, LOLOL! I've seen some big crows. I would love to see them running hawks out of town and especially a raven. That's something else. No, you didn't tell me before now.

You have quite a close connection with crows. Connecting you to tow other people that far away? Now I'm curious to know the stories. (admits to strong fascination with birds and connections with birds)

Pardon me while I share my own content on your post...
Raven Cult
Hawk Hasslers
There's a crows-ambush-hawk video scheduled for Sunday on my youtube, and I'm not saying that to try and spam you, I actually do have it scheduled because I make tons of crow videos and I don't want to blow my load all at once. It's not the highest quality, but still super cool. I'll probably share it to feathered fiends on Sunday and no I'm no going to fix that typo.

At the dawn of my deep crow connection, about a year ago, I was in some crowlover facebook group and started chatting with someone in Hamburg who had been crowing for years. The group got deleted and I lost touch with her and was very sad. She found me months later on instagram and gave me some advice about supplements for some young crows with avian pox. We continued talking and found we had all sorts of things in common, including a fucked up childhood with narcissistic parents! Hooray! One of her crow people IG friends who lives in Mumbai was having a crisis with a very old crow who sought her out for a safe place to rest during his last days on earth. A day later one of those surprising/not surprising synchronistic spiritual witchy things happened that made us all realize there was something beyond our mortal awareness that was connecting the three of us:

Hamburg friend used to be a wildlife rehabber. She informed me out of the blue that she was talking to Mumbai friend about the above-mentioned old crow crisis. The crow was new to the Mumbai friend, but they decided to name him Al Green because they were pretty sure he was going to die and he couldn't go out being "that old crow." I can't remember why she told me about this, I think because she was apologetic about not having time to respond to my messages.

Next day I was hanging out with my buddy Bo, who eats from my hand and stands on my head. We were just spending some quiet time together when a man pulled over in his musical mini van and got out to see wtf this crazy crow lady was doing. He had a very non-threatening vibe, so I talked to him. Turns out his name was Crow. He said some stuff about me having "the magic" if I believed in that stuff. I said I did. He was just passing through, didn't live in Portland. Said he wished he could give me something as a thank you for the experience and the time I spent talking to him. It was a unique thing to say. I told him that his kind interest and curiosity was gift enough. He got in his van and drove away. It wasn't until a few hours later that I realized that the music that had been playing in his van was Al Green.

🀣No pardon required! Those were wonderful posts. So glad you left me links for them.

There's a crows-ambush-hawk video scheduled for Sunday on my youtube

What is this on Sunday? I need to know what time, link, all the good stuff, or I can wait for the post...

I don't want to blow my load all at once.

Okay, that whole story gave me the shivers. Thank you for sharing all that. This is exactly the kind of thing I was speaking of. You have a deep connection to crows, so beautiful. There are none around me here, but I wish there were. Instead, cardinals (another story) and hawks. I really should write these out. I feel encouraged to do this seeing your stories and what you've shared here.

Thank you @corvidae, it's a real pleasure getting to know you.

Likewise! I want to hear your shiver stories. Make sure you tag me or message me when you make a post about them.

The hawk video, even though it's set to private until I publish it Sunday, I may still be able to send the link.
See if this works. It's not the best quality because it was near sunset and underexposed. But still cool, in my totally unbiased opinion.

(insert happy bird dance) Okay, it's going to happen then, just added those story posts to my mental list. I'll make sure to let you know, thanks. I really appreciate this about Hive, so much inspiration from many people. I keep growing in directions I didn't think I could. πŸ˜‚

If you want to read a "non-bird" real life shiver story, lol, there's this one that I did Smoking Bush.

I tried your link, thanks, but it wants me to sign in. I'm not on youtube, so I'll wait for your post. You do far better with birds than I've ever done. I'm looking forward to seeing.

Me too!! It's crazy what kind of blooming can happen when you get genuine encouragement from fellow creatives to be exactly you.

Going to read smoking bush tonight. That sounds like fortune telling. Like reading tea leaves.

looks down, sees two long things extending to ground, yup, both legs are still there

Hahaha, that's the crow I met that had one leg, but a heck of a lot smarter than me with two legs.
