    … getting along is not a characteristic of life in the real world, and while humans have taken it to the next level, creatures in nature do a pretty good job of it too, but there it has to do with the position on the food chain a critter is at, and survival.

    Likely this Coopers Hawk had been raiding the nests of the Crows that have taken over the neighborhood … this was the third pass and as you can see the hawk which was looking up at the crow as he began his dive, ducked at the last moment to avoid the attack. After a few more passes, the hawk moved on, likely continuing his quest for a good meal.

    One of my favorite videos has to do with the way wolves changed everything at Yellowstone Park. The last wolf in Yellowstone was killed in the 1920’s or 30’s and dramatic changes in the ecosystem began to take place … finally in 1995, the Park Service re-introduced wolves into the park; thirty one Grey Wolves from Canada. The wolves that were reintroduced into Yellowstone, created a miracle of restoring the park in a way that humans never could; they set about their natural function of obtaining food which happens to include deer. As they thinned the elk/deer herds out, natural vegetation was able to grow that the deer had overgrazed … watch the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysa5OBhXz-Q and there are also other YouTube videos including National Geographic on the wolves which are fascinating.

    A very good day and time to wrap this one up … espresso in mere hours.

    Have a beautiful day … a good day to be neither predator nor prey … and to smile … we have Safeway!

    Cheers

    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.
