By Ted Grussing
… this Ringneck duck is coming in for a perfect landing with his tail dragging through the water providing a braking action and his “main gear” deployed and extended waiting for the flying speed to drain off and make contact with the water throwing up a spray worthy of a water skier doing slalom. I love shooting wildlife and this is a shot I took a couple of years ago … it is a keeper.
Kind of an eclectic day with some law, some tutorials, the all-inclusive flu shot, visiting with friends and after a dinner of dubious origins One and I spent the evening with the lights off, front door open as well as numerous windows enjoying a fabulous series of thunderstorms and a lightning show such as you seldom see. When we were building our home during the summer of 1992, Cork and I lived at 135 Moons View at the end of our circle; Joleen was visiting us and there was a somewhat more intense storm that night and as we enjoyed cappuccinos on the deck the light show from the lightning kept the red rocks pretty well illuminated … a lot of lightning tonight too.
So even though it is raining I shall not reform myself tonight … perhaps another night or perhaps not at all … that seems like the best choice as I perceive no shortcomings in life.
Have a beautiful evening and day and if in this area sit back and enjoy the show.
Smiles
Ted
I’ll not bother to reform myself today.
Perhaps tomorrow — if it is raining,
and I must stay indoors, and meditate
on the shortcomings of life.
