I'm actually not sure. I thought ravens were European and crows were American, but I have no idea why I think that -- I probably just made it up. :) <BR/><BR/>The light in Santa Fe was somehow sharp & soft at the same time. Probably because of the angle of the sun or something, but it just didn't seem harsh at all. It was really beautiful. <BR/><BR/>RJ: Yeah, exactly! The frustrating thing is that I knew exactly what it would take to squeeze those poems out, and I just didn't have the time and space to do it out there. There's nothing quite as nice as that almost-almost feeling when you know you're going to be able to sit down with pen in hand and tease the poems out, and nothing quite as frustrating as knowing they're there & not being able to do anything about it. Ugh!Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-75268498848045932632007-11-02T14:32:00.000-04:002007-11-02T14:32:00.000-04:00I love your comment about a poem being like a snee...I love your comment about a poem being like a sneeze about to happen....it's almost there and you're braced and and and...nothin.

I'm a long way from being an expert on this, but it's my general impression that crows tend to be more eastern, and ravens tend to be more western.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the light there. Everything looks sharper and harder. Desert air, yes, and also partly because of the higher altitude.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
