Friendly Deer & Dear Friends

Sometimes it can feel so good to be alone on the trail. The quiet. The peacefulness. The time to myself.

But, tonight, I’ve been thinking a lot about how wonderful company can be. Especially when it’s the right kind of company.

There are two very important people in my life who happen to both be celebrating a birthday tomorrow. (Actually, since they are on the East Coast where it is three hours later, their birthdays have already begun!) As they both read this blog regularly, I hope they won’t mind if I take this small opportunity to tell them what fantastic people I think they are and to thank them for their amazing friendship. I am so incredibly grateful to have each of you in my life and I wish nothing but happiness and joy for you on this special day!

    Hey there! Thank you so much for the nice birthday wishes…the rainbow display in your e-mail was wonderful. I think you are fantastic and I am so impressed with your blog and faithfulness to it. Each day is a little gift when I check in because very often I learn something new. AND you have a *very* artistic and talented eye as a photographer!! Thanks for your friendship. It is such a pleasure to know you and be able to call you my friend!! Love you, Harsi! xXxoOo

    Well, if it isn’t the birthday girl herself!! Again, so sorry that my gift isn’t there for you to open right now… but, I think you’re going to be very happy in a day or two. 🙂 My heart is full to the top with all your nice compliments about my photography and this blog. Seeing as how we’re so far away geographically, I love being able to share a little something with you everyday. Love you too. XO

    Awww Harsi, thanks so much!! You know the feeling is mutual! I agree with Lisa, these blog posts are wonderful gifts each day. Oh, and hey Lisa, Happy Birthday to you too! It has been so great to reconnect after 10 (well more like 20) years and your dedication to exploring all in nature and continuous creativity in the photographic realm is truly inspiring! Thanks for the kind words & birthday wishes! B

    Ben!! There’s my other favorite Cancer! Isn’t that odd that you and Lisa have the same birthday? I must say it’s worked out GREAT for me! I’ve read that Taurus and Cancer are usually a fantastic match friendship-wise and you both have certainly proven that theory! While I am definitely “as stubborn as a bull”, I must say that I would never describe either one of you as “crabby”… not even on your bad days! 🙂 OK… enough silly horoscope talk. On a more serious note, reconnecting with you is one of the best things that has happened in my life recently. While you know that I wish we hadn’t missed out on so much of each others’ lives, I’m so excited to be part of the journey NOW and I can’t wait to see where our paths will be taking us. ~ H P.S. Thank you so much for being such a fan of this blog and of my artistic endeavors in general. You inspire me more than you probably know.
