    … sorry for the miss of the email Wednesday morning, but I was without internet service for nearly two days … hopefully it will stay up for a while and I have been enjoying my current provider so much, that Starlink is beginning to sound like a good option to me.

    Couple of cool shots I found today … above is a Killdeer with his primary feathers on the left wing almost touching the ground as he dives over the edge of the embankment to drop down to the shoreline of the pond … alula feathers are fully deployed!

    Below is a shot of a Vermilion Fly Catcher in flight as he is off for some insects he has seen … very busy life just keeping food on the table for these guys … once out of the nest they are on their own … self reliance is a very good thing.

    Into the weekend and as always, the plan is to be back Monday morning … keep breathing, smile at those you meet and greet and be kind.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    I have seen men binding their brothers in chains,
    and crafty traders reaching for the bread that women
    and babes lifted to their mouths;

    I have seen merciless greed extracting yet the last
    pittance from the defenseless and weak;

    I have seen suffering go unaided, and known the stinging
    malice of them I loved;

    And I have heard the iron din of war, and have seen the
    waxen face of early death;

    And I have cried in my heart, “the world is hate!”

    I have heard birds calling their mates in the still
    forests, and insects chirping to their loves in the tangled
    grass of meadows;

    I have seen mothers caressing their babes, and aged
    men supporting with devotion the slow steps of
    stooping women;

    I have seen cheerful hearthstones surrounded by laughing
    children and strong men and sweet women;

    I have heard the tender words of lovers in the pure
    passion of youth;

    And I have cried in my heart, “the world is love!”

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
