    … a lot of the photos in my portfolio have been shot around home … in the yard and around it … sitting on the deck whilst keeping an eye on my little predator who has a penchant for attacking predators much larger than herself.

    May is always the month for our Spuria Innovator iris’s to bloom … a very tall plant and beautiful beyond imagination. A friend planted them for Corky, early summer in 2013 and she loved them. Since she was on hospice, we all knew that she would never see them bloom, but having seen them in our friends yard she knew what a great gift they were and annually I am reminded of those moments and the great gift … thank you again Allan and Marge 🙂

    A tree just on the other side of the cart path in back is a favorite for Coopers Hawks to surveil the area as they hunt for food … I really need to get a bird feeder up in back … feed the whole food chain. Some of my best shots of Coopers have occurred in the back yard as they attempt to get song birds to exit the desert olive tree/bushes in the yard. We have trimmed them in such a manner that over the years it is impossible for the hawks to get at the birds seeking protection within them. This guy is definitely looking for a meal!

    Have a beautiful day … check out the beauty in and around your home too … you do not have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to find beauty that you can marvel at … it is all around you. Keep breathing and smile … life is a fantastic gift!

    Cheers,

    Let me forgive much, forget more;
    Let me close my eyes and fall half asleep,
    That the pictures may grow softer and stiller,
    And the life, O thou God! again grow gentle.

    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.
