    … best describes the landing of this hen mallard that I shot at Bubbling Ponds this morning … her wings were spread out cupping the air, not really breaking, but just maintaining balance and slowly sinking lower in the water. It is a real treat getting a shot where you have the subject coming towards you as opposed to a sideways or going away shot. Lot’s of other shots and lots of different species including a Yellow breasted Chat … phew I remembered it 🙂

    After working on the plane this afternoon I stopped and got takeout from Mesa Grill. They opened yesterday and even with just a few tables in there I wasn’t ready for inside dining yet … but when I got home I had a very delicious White Cheddar and Bacon Burger with a side of fries … it was so good!!!

    Plans for the day just underway were deferred so perhaps a day of photo editing and answering emails; I have gotten way behind again and apologize for that …

    Have a beautiful day … start it with that first smile in the morning when you regain consciousness and realize you are still here … love it when I awake and open my eyes in the morning and WOW I am breathing and alive … and it only gets better from there.

    Cheers

    I am the dawn, the whisper of winds,the perfume
    of morning.
     
    The passing night fondled me, hovering close to me,
    softly, silently.
     
    The breaking day builds the spirit temple of my joy.
    I abandon myself!
     
    It seems to me that never before have I walked with
    the spirit as now, nor overcome space, time, and the
    elements as I overcome them now.
     
    For a few hours here here in the still morning I wash myself
    clean of civilization, and purge myself of things and
    the accumulated rubbish of time.
     
    A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am in
    each pearl of moisture sparkling in the sun. I lie lazy
    on the clouds. And I acknowledge my kinship with
    each winged thing.
     
    I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new
    day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of night.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my
    soul.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
