    … 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

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
