    … about half way up Castle Creek on the NW side of Lake Pleasant we came upon a solo loon on the lake. At first he was pretty spooked and dove before we could get close enough for a good shot, but over a period of ten or fifteen minutes we were able to get within 20 feet or so of him and he became curious about us. No flying, but some great shots of him paddling along and many beautiful dives. This is the first loon I have seen on the lake or any lake in Arizona and by the time I get back on the lake Wednesday morning he will likely be long gone on his northward migration. The loon carries its young on its back and I would love to get shots of that sometime … perhaps a quick trip to Wisconsin this spring when they hatch?

    Another beautiful day in the neighborhood … One and I are usually on the deck by 7:30A enjoying coffee/espresso (that’s me) and looking for critters to chase (that’s One) … an hour of that and then back inside and the day is underway.

    I’m working on setting up online galleries where you will be able to see the photographs from past emails and in folders by year sent out. I’ve got 18 years worth of them, but likely will only put up the last five years. Perhaps on the website? Shared folders in the cloud? or in galleries of a WordPress plugin to the website. I used to have the latter, but it got hacked and I had a real mess for a while. Should have something established by the end of next week and will keep you posted. You will be able to download them and again, they are for personal use only, no commercial use without prior authorization.

    Up to Flagstaff and the Arboretum in the morning … they will be selling my cards in the gift shop again this year, then to see a friend and finally check out the water levels in Lake Mary before heading home.

    Have a beautiful day … expect to find beauty wherever you are … but first you have to look for it. Keep breathing and smile … choices that only we can make.

    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.
