    I took this shot of a Merganser in the channel between Smith Lake and Upper Eau Clair Lake on the same day as the tremendous shoot of Loons that I had a week and a half ago. He spent quite a bit of time getting this fish down as it is a wee bit big to go down her throat … after a few minutes of intense shaking, tossing the fish and other moves she did get it down and had a great meal. Mergansers, Egrets, Herons and other creatures who swallow their catch whole have to be choosy as if they start a fish down and it is too large to go down, it gets stuck (can’t go backwards because of the fins) and both perish. Thankfully it doesn’t happen often … rather like the saying, don’t bite off more than you can chew?

    It was an epic day getting two fabulous shoots and neither would have been possible without the boat. Love the water and in the morning the pitch of the prop on Mariah will be reset and it will be back in the air again. Hoping the leaves on the peaks and other mountains up there are starting to turn … hopefully they are still on the trees. Having some awesome weather and clouds which along with the rain has cleared the air … maybe I’ll get lucky and get it before more prescribed burns foul the air and visibility.

    Have a beautiful day today … soon more espresso to fuel another day … still here and still smiling … life is grand!

    Cheers

    Ted

    … I drink deep the joy of dawn, and peace abides with me;
    And though I know that I again shall see
    Dark fear with withered hand approach my sleep,
    More sure am I when lonely night shall flee,
    At dawn the sun will bring good cheer to me.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
