    … hard to believe that it is fifteen years since I took this shot on one of my evening walks around the golf course. This daffodil was in the garden of friends who lived on what was then the 8th tee box. now seventeen. There was a light rain and the setting sun came through a hole in the clouds and some bushes and gave me this beautiful light. The flower has long ago returned to the earth and my friends have also left this life, but memories of them live on and the beauty of this long ago flower remains to be seen and enjoyed.

    Shot with one of my all time favorite cameras, the Olympus E-1, a five megapixel DSLR camera. Although it was only five megapixel, it took some wonderful shots. This was followed by the E-3 and then the E-5.

    Very busy day coming up so time to close it out for the night. Have a beautiful day, keep breathing and focus on the beauty which is all around us … and smile, there is life beyond the madness we are seeing daily in our large cities and states … I looked in the mirror this morning and asked myself if I mattered … I do, and so do you. We are blessed to live in this remarkable country.

    Cheers

    excerpts from Desiderata
     
    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with
    yourself. You are a child of the universe no less
    than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be
    here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no
    doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
     
    With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
    Strive to be happy.
     
    Max Ehrmann

    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.
