This blog will follow my spiritual journey through my SoulCollage® card making and readings. SoulCollage® is a process where you let images choose you and then you collage those images into cards that are then used to help you understand yourself better. I want to thank all the wonderful photographers and artists who have shared their work with me as I take this Journey to My Soul. It is amazing where your soul can take you!

Listen to the birds
I am one how is looking for peace and quiet. I am one one who is listening to the birds. I am one who is concerned we won't hear what they have to say.
This past weekend I spent a lot of time listening to the Franklin Gulls as they did their courtship rituals. It was really fun to watch them seem to chase each other away, when they really were trying to attract. I could have spent hours (OK, more hours) just watching the plovers and sandpipers as they looked for food as the tide came in.
How like the birds we are at times! We seemingly push away those we want near us. Is it because we don't want them to know the real us but still need them near?
I really want to make the camping at the beach a yearly activity.

I can't stop myself. I think you mean Laughing Gulls :) Franklin gulls have a pinkish belly and are actually seasonal and rare on the Texas coast. When I saw one on a birding trip with a group of birders on the Galveston-Bolivar ferry, it was a big big deal.
No I do mean Franklin, the Bird Guide given by the park says that the Laughing Gulls are the rare ones and the Franklin are migratory and fairly common.
I'll take your word for it :) Which park was this again?
It was Mustang Island State Park. I even had my bird book with me. White eye arcs and white spots on the tail.
