Do I see what I think I see?

Yes I do. That's a Great Horned Owl up there on the cliff across the river, waiting for the sun to set. And to his left is his mate on the nest deep in a hole in the cliff. A fellow camper, Winnie, told me I might find a nesting pair up there. She had seen them up there last year.

Sure wish I could get closer but there's a river in the way.

Visual Thinkers

When I talk to other people I translate my pictures into stock phrases or sentences I have "on tape" inside my head. Those kids who called me Tape Recorder were right about me. They were mean, but they were right. I am a tape recorder. That's how I'm able to talk. The reason I don't sound like a tape recorder anymore is that I have so many stock phrases and sentences I can move around into new combinations. All my public speaking has been a huge help. When I got criticisms saying I always give the same speech, I started moving my slides around. That moved my phrases around too.
