    … there are subscribers to these missives in more than 15 countries and idioms and definitions of words are not uniform across all societies and cultures. So I was surprised when I heard from a friend in Norway that they had mercury lakes … I wrote back that I thought that was awful and wondered if they could clean the lake up or something like that. He replied with a photo of the mercury lake that they had their cabin on … a mercury lake, which to them represents a lake where the waters are so smooth that it has the appearance of a pool of liquid mercury. So here is a “mercury lake” that I was on this morning aka Lake Mary; at the SE end of the lake looking back up to the NW.

    The water was the quietest I have seen there and we had a shoot fest of everything from dragonflies to herons, osprey, Canada geese and more. Shots of a great blue heron nailing a dragonfly, fish and crawdad,  and with patience, shots of dragon flies like this Blue Eyed Darner dragonfly who hovered just long enough for me to grab a focus on him. Pretty cool shooting if I do say so!

    Ere you lie down to sleep in the night, sit still
    a while, and nurse again to life your gentler self.
     
    The night will soothe you like a tender mother, folding you
    against her soft bosom, and hiding you from the harm
    of the world.
     
    Therefore, in the night, sit still a while
    and dream awake, ere you lie down to sleep.
     
    — Max Ehrmann

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
