    … hard to believe the beauty I have seen the past couple of days whilst spending my mornings on the lake and in search of … on the water about twenty minutes before six in the morning and off by nine thirty … ditto for the birds and other wildlife as the Arizona summer heat takes over the day … we all seek shelter and cooler places. Fish are near the surface and have not yet descended to deep waters.

    The photo above shows a Great Egret that has just plucked a bit of breakfast from the waters and is headed back to shore to finish it off. The early morning light on him is beautiful.

    First below is a shot of a Cattle Egret leaving his perch for places we are not. They are a very beautiful egret and one that is seldom seen in these parts.

    Below the Cattle Egret is a pair of Great Blue Herons … the successful hunter is being challenged by one who doesn’t want to work for his own food and would rather take it from one who has worked for it … a behavior that cuts across every species! The heron with the fish did keep it and eventually the other heron did get his own food.

    I started the day about twenty-five hours ago, time to end it and get some rest. Into the weekend … have a wonderful one … smile and keep breathing. Back Monday morning.

    Smiles,

    Though work bring nought of power
    nor wealth

    Spare me from want of common needs,
    And give a share of manly health,
    A few good friends of honest deeds.

    And till death’s peaceful slumber nears
    A life of undishonored years.

    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.
