    A few days ago when I was out with One, I saw a squirrel bouncing across the grass with a peach in its mouth; I headed over there to try and get a few shots of him and as I did he climbed a very crooked tree. On the other side he was able to nestle up to the tree using it as a support, but he went around to the other side and kind of hung in there doing the impossible and munched on the peach for a while before climbing up the tree to finish it off. I like it and the playful creatures that inhabit the neighborhood.

    Updated my logbook tonight and have flown 18 of the last 21 days … going again in the morning and I’m capturing a lot of very good video. Using my Canon 6D with the nifty fifty lens and am going to get a new lens to use; possibly the 24mm prime or the 16-85mm – dunno, have to do some more research on that. Also I have to rig something better than what I am doing for the video as I am hand holding with my right hand and flying with my left on the stick … still getting some amazing stuff and will put another video together with this footage next week when I get back. Quite stable footage and when run through the stabilizer in Premier Pro it should be neat perfect. Carrying three cameras with me when I go up now and soon will have GoPro cameras mounted on the wings. FUN!!!

    Tuesday they are closing the runway for resurfacing and it will be closed until August 20th. I’m Heading over to SoCal to spend a few days with a friend … movies, museums, beaches and fine dining; should still be able to get the nightly photos out though. Be a fun break.

    Need some sleep so I can launch into a beautiful morning sky and be up there as the clouds develop. I think it was Friday when the air was so thick with water vapor, that when the clouds began forming in earnest, it almost looked like rain in reverse … very cool.

    Have a beautiful day and enjoy today … you have it and can do anything you want with it, including sharing a smile and warm feeling with someone.

    Cheers

    Though work bring naught of power nor wealth
    Spare me from want of common needs, and give a share of manly health,
    A few good friends of honest deeds;
    And till death’s peaceful slumber nears, a life of undishonored years.
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
