    … restaurants always boast about the fresh catch of the day when touting their sea food … then there are those who actually catch their own on a daily basis, like our Western Grebe in the photo above. It is a tad on the large size for him as he swallows the fish whole fish head first (dorsal fins are a one way trip.) It was only moments before he had the fish down and on he went in search of more. I love the red eyes and the tufted hat he was wearing. Grebes spend almost their entire life on the water … they have evolved as incredible swimmers and as a result their feet are the very far back of their body so that they can barely walk on land.

    Kingfishers are a very difficult bird to get whether on land or water. Once in a while, one of them will hang around and let you in close. This one played with us for about ten minutes the other day, flitting between branches of trees in a back bay, but staying close for great shooting … the perfect opportunity to get photos of them in flight … a small tough target to shoot.

    Into yet another day which will be filled with wonder … not sure what, but it will be a day filled with opportunities and choices … choose well, have a fabulous day and smile at those you meet and greet!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    I bring but this one common thought
    My life has wrought;
    That from the dregs of drear despair
    Still every where
    There is a joy I yet may sip—
    ‘Tis comradeship
    With all mankind, the high and low
    I know.

    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→
