    … a more beautiful way to spend a day than on a lake in the forest? Methinks not  … left the house at 5:30 this morning and launched before 7A. The water was calm and the light was muted and quiet. A quick run down the lake to an area of water flowers and dragon flies, snowy egrets and great blue herons, geese and hawks, ravens and merganser ducks,  black eyed susans and ponderosa pines … mostly you are alone in the natural world and realize that you are a part of it … something you never experience in the city.

    These four snowy egrets came flying down the lake before settling in on the shore to search for food … a beautiful tight formation as they came straight down the lake, a sweeping turn, still in formation, and then the landing. It is amazing how close you can get to wildlife when you are on the water … we got within fifty feet of them and other creatures without spooking them … if approaching from the land they would be gone before you got within 200 feet.

    A fun day and I’ve gone through 1700 photos I shot today … now pared down to a little over 600 and more to send to the bit bucket. Have a beautiful day and spend some time alone in nature … refresh your soul.

    Cheers

    I am the dawn, the whisper of winds, the perfume
    of the 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.

      You keep referring to “the lake” – but you never mentioned
      the name of the lake or where it is. Maybe you want to keep it a secret.


    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.
