    … these two American Coots are neck to neck as they race down a watery race track … which will win? … neither as they abandoned the water, left the surface and entered flight. Kind of a cool shot though and I found it among a shoot I did on Watson Lake last October. I think one more flight for the color up at the peaks tomorrow and then next week I’ll get the boat back on the water as a few birds from the north are beginning to arrive on the migration. A couple of days ago I saw some Northern Mallards and Widgeons at the ponds along with a couple of Coots. By next week there should be a lot more and I think the lake is still pretty high.

    It was a good day today and again I got to visit with some friends, get the car serviced and picked an artichoke pizza (with extra oil) up on the way home. We have a new pizza place in the Village that uses a wood fired oven. The pizza is amazing and the name unforgettable “Rotten Johnny’s”  and they appear to be doing a very good business. I have a real weakness for white pizza’s with a lot of seasoned oil and this one with artichokes and kalamata olives is getting to be a weekly treat.

    Into the weekend for me, and I’ll be back Monday morning. Have a beautiful day and weekend … go up to the peaks and check out the color and all the snow on the peaks; this is the first year I have been shooting color up there when there has been this much snow on the peaks and/or head to Watson or Willow lakes in Prescott and check the wildlife out. Enjoy life and every moment and breath you are given as they are the only ones that are guaranteed … and smile!

    Cheers

    Ted

    For life holds cheers as well as tears,
    Take this old toast from me:
    This world a riddle hard you call …
    A mess from which you fain would shrink?
    Perhaps ’tis wisdom, all in all.
    To learn to laugh as well as think.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
