fly tying is reputed to be a low-risk, non-contact avocation.
you should never see a series of waiting rooms because of the size 16 emergers you tied for a trip to the driftless region. right?
probably…unless you are inept klutz like myself. suffice it to say WEAR SHOES when you tie. though personally i attribute all this to inexpensive chinese hooks.
my absolute favorite waiting room had a westward exposure. expansive windows like those in your image as well. without being too cold-hearted, looking out the window became much more enjoyable than looking into the room.
across the road from this room was an open greenspace next to a highrise condo. on the roof of that condo a mated pair of red-tailed hawks reared their young. they also used it as a platform for their fearsome feeding forays.
a pigeon ambled by…pow! a rabbit nibbled at the freshly mown yard…pow! an opossum waddled across the road from storm drain to storm drain…pow. if both birds were hunting, the greenspace had the look of death match fought with pillows.
going back and forth to this room of anticipation and apprehension i was able to map the birds hunting path. a mile east and back. they used a corridor about four blocks wide. it included a creek and three fast-food venues.
however their absolute favorite perch seemed to be the facade of a barnes & noble. it was a gas to watch these birds plummet to the tarmac (after who knows what) as folks walked out with a bag of books. sometimes i think they did it just to hear the yokels squeal and watch them jump.
windy and wordy as usual.
hope this finds you well.
if not…. have me tell you about the arrogant, teenaged surgeon who couldn’t make his ipod work and the turkey vultures lurking at the operating room prep area’s window.
perfect title.
