I have lived 70 years. Today, as I embark on the 71st,with heartfelt thanks I celebrate my life, my friends and family,
the splendour of the universe
and the wonder of all plants and creatures on our planet.

I wish for you a very happy day today. May this be a special celebration of your 70th birthday.

Happy Birthday Pam! (I hope I am as young as you when I am as old as you.)
dear pam,
a very happy day to you in celebrating a rich and incredible 70 years. it is hard to imagine that i have known you for over 42 of these.
in that time you have taught me so much: to appreciate the beauty of our world, to celebrate the tapestry of cultures and communities that contribute to this world, to see art in all things, to respect the humanity of all people even (especially) when I disagree with them, to make a difference in this world through my actions and based on my values and beliefs, and to embrace the challenges as well as the triumphs that life inevitably brings.
i am blessed to be on your journey with you. and i am proud to call you friend as well as mentor. i really wish i could be in tucson to celebrate with you. greta and i will share a piece of cake tonight in your honor. (no candles though, she's not very good at blowing them out.)
i love you mom!

Dear Pam, I have only recently become acquainted, through your blog, with your calm and warm spirit. I wish you so much joy today and in the years ahead. And, please, keep showing the rest of us the world according to Pam, as reflected in your beautiful photographs.
Happy Birthday, how exciting to be starting a whole new decade. Beautiful photo too. I will miss seeing the cactus bloom this year but will enjoy getting to see them vicariously through your lens
Happiest of happy birthdays to you, Pam. Here it is your birthday, and you are giving these delightful gifts to us. We are the lucky ones today! I am glad to have found you in this wild world on the internet. Happy birthday.
Happy Birdday, Pam! Thanks for sharing all your lovely photos of the birds (and cactus and everything else) who share your life with you. I hope today is wonderful!

Hello Pam: A very happy birthday to you . . . your photographs are truly incredible frozen moments . . . clearly no moment in your life has been so "frozen" and yet you have been able to stop-time so gloriously.
All best wishes of the day!

Have only been into the 70th a few months myself, but so far has been a good year. Can only wish the same for you.
Happy Birthday Pam. What a sweet comment your son left for you.
Happy Birthday Pam. I have been away over the weekend and Monday, so am a little late in wishing you this - but trust you had a special day.
