    … we get fly by’s all of the time, but it is kinda fun to see a very close fly by of a western grebe by a hen golden eye duck. She was all by herself when we spotted her and unlike the larger flocks of golden eyes that have been skittish at the least, she allowed us within a hundred feet before she flew. With a sharp beak such as the grebe has, methinks that I would give him a little wider berth as I barreled by him at high speed, or was this an avian game of chicken?

    The cormorant below did a wonderful flyby of the boat as he left for quieter waters in which to hunt. He took off from a tree branch that was protruding from the lake and as cormorants are wont to do, propelled himself about ten feet forward and then impacted the water as his wings and feet propelled him to flying speed and he was off … have to love those turquoise colored eyes!

    Time to wrap the day … a very good one and it shall continue into the new one after a little rest. Have a beautiful day … your choice … always!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Occasionally permit self-abandonment to the
    caprice of beauty; rush past the sentinel that keeps
    you in the prisoned city, and live an hour in the
    house of the world, acquainting yourself with the still
    people of the air.

    Learn the music of a summer night by the restless
    wave of the sea, or surrender to the sunlight of an
    open country where the illimitable sky at last meets
    to kiss the sweet green earth, and stay till the crimson
    shafts burn the western world;

    And something will rise in you that is not connected
    with the tiring routine of your trade—something
    strange and calm.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
