Hummingbird
In 1972 Seals and Crofts released the album Summer Breeze which my wife to be and I both owned and listened to throughout our college years. The album contains the achingly beautiful and timeless song “Hummingbird” . . .
Wonders of Nature
Around 1940 Edward Hughson, my great grandfather, wrote to my mother, Mary, and aunt, Helen, a series of poems about his observations of nature in the backyard of his home called “Hilltop Farm” in the Oakland Hills . . .
Mystical Murmuration
I remember a few years ago when I saw a video of a murmuration of starlings I was amazed. The beauty, harmony, and grace of tens of thousands of these birds gathering in flight in perfect synchronization left me in absolute awe of the God of creation . . .
