    … it was a good day for Avocets in breeding plumage and also for Egrets in full breeding plumage at the lake … always look forward to getting shots of the Avocets every Spring and this Spring produced some very beautiful birds on small islands just above the water … the curved bill is so that they can get under rocks and such to obtain their food.

    The Egret below is in full breeding plumage too and joins the one talon club (well maybe there are two touching.) Not sure how anyone could ever slaughter these beautiful birds just to get the feathers … they were slaughtered to near extinction in the 1800’s for the fashion industry which incorporated the feathers into beautiful hats for women. Mercifully laws were passed and they were protected and the population has recovered.

    A great week so far with time spent with friends and early in the morning it is down to Lake Pleasant and a beautiful day on the water doing what I love to do … hopefully the leaks are all taken care of!

    Have a beautiful day … share a smile with someone and keep breathing … what a great combination!

    Cheers,

    Thou great God, uphold me also in the lonely hour;
    and though I fall in the din and the dust of the world,
    resurrect Thou me. Even to the last, turn my hands
    to kindly service, and part my lips in gleeful songs
    of love. And in the softly falling dark, when all grows
    strangely still, may I be glad to have trod the sweet
    green earth, and known the tender touch of love. Yet
    may I depart with joy, as one who journeys home at
    evening.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
