    … is good and you are among other creatures who make the lake and environs home … being on the water we are not perceived as a threat and can get close to these wonderful creatures. The shot above is of a cormorant taking off in a shallow bay … I love the way they take off as they use both feet at the same time to propel themselves across the water as they gain speed to go airborne … pelicans do the same and as a result both of them have a lower profile than waterfowl who run using one foot at a time to run across the water as they takeoff … they are much more erect.

    Below is a shot of a Harris Hawk perched on a cliff over a narrow waterway … he was one of a pair of Harris Hawks that were hunting the area that day. Eric and I were fortunate to also get photos of them hunting and a little later capture prey. Time to get back down to the lake … the water level will be at or near the low mark and hazards once under 25 feet of water are going to be in play … my beat up propeller is back on the Mercury and the pristine stainless propeller is waiting for winter when the lake is filled again. Lake Pleasant is the primary reservoir for Colorado River water and thus the level fluctuates greatly over the course of the year.

    Time to wrap the day before I get to far into the new one … yikes and a busy one coming up! Have a beautiful day and friends on the east coast should be having morning coffee about now … morning to you 🙂

    Cheers,

    Ted

    If the noise of the city offend you,
    go afield when you may, with the birds and
    the wild, free life that troubles not.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
