    … is the beauty of a Mountain Bluebird in flight. I got this shot yesterday morning when I joined a couple of friends at a mostly dry cattle pond off of Beaver Head Flat Road. Mostly the light was pretty good and a lot of Western Bluebirds were coming in to get drinks of water in between foraging for seeds and whatever else they were eating. This little lady had just left her perch on a stick in the pond and was wheeling away to the NW heading out to find some more food.

    Yesterday I took just under 3,000 shots and on Thursday I took just under 2,000 shots. So far this year I have taken over 8,000 shots of bluebirds … I have kept about 600 of them; many of the remaining photos will go away too, BUT NOT THIS ONE!

    This is likely the best inflight of an individual bluebird I have taken and the singular beauty of the blue in a Mountain Bluebird absolutely astounds me. You never know what you will get when you go out on a shoot, and if you don’t go out, you may never get the shot that has been described as beyond gloating! This was the only Mountain Bluebird we saw yesterday … maybe tomorrow or Tuesday a better shot can be had?

    A friend sent me a link to a relatively new product that looks like it can solve many of the problems we have with plastics. With heat, steam and very high pressure, recycled and non recycled plastic is converted into blocks for construction. No resins or other materials are used in the production and the product can be superior to conventional materials. Worth a look and the link is: https://www.byfusion.com/byblock/ Check it out.

    A beautiful day to you … tomorrow, this Mountain Bluebird will awake and be back to her task of providing for her daily needs … not for future needs, just for today … we would be wise to concern ourselves with today too, as it is all we have.

    Smiles,

    Filled with dreams and songs and love, I wander afield
     
    Meditation, softened by the peaceful lands of grain and the illimitable blue sea overhead, draws my heart to my lips as one whose talent is in song.
     
    I yield to the thousand felicities of this transport, like a child led by his fathers hand; and no questions darken this day of my content.

    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→
