In the “From Your Ears to Ours” column, we are hoping our listeners and readers will submit ideas or material to the blog related to or inspired by stories on Under the Sun.

Alette Simmons-Jimenez has been watching the flocking birds from our “What’s Up With South Florida?” story for a while now.  She writes:

“Driving up and down US1, I would stare at these groups of flocking birds.  One day, suddenly, hundreds flew over my car’s front window, black silhouettes on a white overcast sky.   Consistent with my work’s themes of the recurring patterns found in every aspect of nature and humanity, the patterns of those birds are a constant source of inspiration.”
