After twenty-two years in Vancouver, B.C., I've recently moved to Toronto Ontario, where I make my living writing science fiction and fantasy; I also review books and teach writing online at UCLA. I'm a legally married lesbian, a coffee snob, and I wake up at an appallingly early hour.
Gorgeous! I think we only have barn swallows where I live, and they’re my favorite birds.
They are fantastic birds, and so graceful! I thought we only had tree and barn swallows, but a fellow photographer who I follow on Flickr found an even more spectacular one in one of the suburbs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/revs45/5667200990/in/faves-14036428@N00/
So now I have something new to look for! Maybe you’ll get lucky too!
