… a couple more, but critter only, they do it so beautifully! Above is a Great Egret taking off from one of the banks between the ponds at Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery in Page Springs … no way any machine we design and build comes even close to the beauty of a take off like this … check out the beauty of the Great Blue Heron flaring before he touches down on the road beside one of the ponds. Looking at the leading edges of the Egret’s wings the alula feathers are deployed on both wings. These feathers perform an important function in flight when taking off and landing … check out the link to the Wikipedia article on them. We continue to learn from birds and for that matter every other creature.
Another great day coming to a close … as the poem from Max Ehrmann says, “when you are rested we shall journey together, singing gleefully on the highway, lending many a hand, yet passing ever on and on;” Make your days great and someone else’s too … keep breathing and smile for you are here!
Cheers
Ted
Come, you who are weary, and sit in the shadow
of my faith; and when you are rested we shall
journey together, singing gleefully on the highway,
lending many a hand, yet passing ever on and on; and
at nightfall, tired and content, we shall light the candles
in the house of love, thank God in cheerful words, and
lie down to peaceful sleep.
Come, You Who Are Weary by Max Ehrmann
