    … lots of stuff around here this morning and then an early outing in the afternoon with One as I wanted to be down at the ponds by 5:30P to shoot wildlife. It was hot out and One only lasted for about 49 minutes before she happily headed for the door. While we were out I noticed a new and likely last bloom on Cork’s, Argentine Giant Cactus … the cactus is still diminutive and in relation to the overall size of the cactus, the bloom will be large. Anyhow, I loved the shot, so here it is … I love the detail in all the little hairy wisps.

    Down at the ponds I got some amazing shots of a Bald Eagle, Blue Herons and a Black Hawk plus a few other birds. More on that tomorrow and maybe a portrait of a heron … pretty cool! He wasn’t in a mood to fly as he was busy trying to gulp down a fish he had just consumed … sorry the tail had already disappeared. Neat shot though.

    Busy day coming up so will shut it down early … for me. Have a beautiful day, smile and greet a few people with a smile today. Helps to make it a kinder, gentler world.

    Cheers

    A long walk. Tired and contented. I have been dreaming again.
    My walk led me upon a hill to the southeast.
    When at the top, I turned to see some cattle grazing on the wayside – and behold my native city lay at my feet.

    I thought of my own wanderings, and remembered some sleepless hours divine with music of the night.
    A thousand memories filled me with the joys of other years – memories of friends changed and gone, and of
    The dawning sun lighting up the nimble fancy worlds of youth.

    How much history has passed within this small space of earth – of no importance to the world;
    yet all important the life of each to himself!

    How many have lived and toiled and planned here – how many, tired and care-worn, have lain down here
    to repose at night!

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
