I met a guest in the hotel I work at that leads a group of birdwatchers for almost 30 years. The jolly group from U.K set up every morning excited to see new birds and wild flowers in Crete. You could almost see them approaching the project like a five year old ready to party.
I love nature; and as it happens I love sketching birds, flowers and insects so we had an interesting discussion. But I will never forget the look on one gentleman’s face who told me. “I actually had the chance to see a bird I wanted to for my entire life.” Now that was a total bliss!
