    … at least that is what it looked like what this frog was pleading for … Eric and I just took a long series of shots of this Great Blue heron as he flew to a quiet place to enjoy his dinner late this afternoon … it was the natural thing to do. Usually when you see shots I send out of the Blue Herons, they have their long necks extended in flight, here it is pretty well retracted and the reason is simple; he is keeping his CG point the same as he has the added weight of the frog, which if the neck were to be extended would dramatically alter the CG point (center of gravity) and make it difficult for him to fly. Put the CG to far forward in a plane and the nose points down, to far aft and the nose goes up … the CG point has to stay within certain limits fore and aft or you kinda do not fly very well … or at all.

    A nice day today and it looks like the new day is going to be good too. So many new birds at Watson and a balmy 70F on the water today … the water is cold and clearing and we did pretty well in water only a foot and a half deep … love this boat!

    Buy some calendars … they are the real ones, not the new electronic ones and when your smart phone, tablet, laptop or desk computer crashes, you still have your calendar :+)

    I may get another one out tomorrow night, but maybe not … if not, have a great weekend and I’ll be back Mondaymorning. Smile and be thankful for your local grocery store :+)

    Cheers

    A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am 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 the night.
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.
    — Max Ehrmann

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
