    … it was an absolute blast getting back out on the lake this morning … the launch, getting into the boat and the reverse processes went very well and although there was a dearth of birds that we usually shoot we did get some interesting shots including a herd of Prong Horn Antelope that were getting water and then grazing and playing in a grassy area near the forest. I got this shot of a Canada Goose getting a drink of water … sticking his beak down into the water and then bringing his head up to slide it down  … a few droplets of excess water are coming back down.

    It was positively beautiful this morning and the water was like glass; a mercury lake as my friend Tore calls it. Beautiful views of the San Francisco Peaks looking to the NW from the lake and life was just perfect. The Osprey, herons and so many others have already left the area, but we did manage to get some neat shots. Lake Mary and Watson Lake water levels are way down due to the lack of precipitation. Next week it will be down to Lake Pleasant and work the shorelines down there on the north end of the lake. Lake Pleasant is not dependent on precipitation to maintain its water level; rather it is a resovoir for water with the Central Arizona Project. For more information on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Arizona_Project and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pleasant_Regional_Park .

    Have a beautiful day … smile when you wake up … what a terrific way to start the day … here and breathing.

    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.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.
     
    — 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.
