In hindsight ...

Miracles ...
... paradoxically
often follow a
principle ...
... we usually fail
to notice them
... when
they are happening

... it is only
in hindsight that
the feeling starts
sinking in ...

The image of this
striking Woody
I posted yesterday
and ... this one
... were taken on
the same perch ...
but exactly two
years apart ...

... and

on both occasions
... in the stolen
moments through the
Medical Camp in
remote Himalayas ...

... without any
planned move to
go out for birding

This was taken at
6.53 am in entirely
different lighting
though ...
