    … after working up four photos tonight and then deleting them once done, I took a short break … laid down on the bed whilst icing my knee and a tune starting going through my head … “Blackbird, singing in the dead of night … ” and the song goes on. I love that song regardless of whether sung by the Beatles, Sarah McLachlan or others. The song of a blackbird in the wild is a familiar and welcome song be it in corn fields, in marshy areas or the river bottoms near Shakopee, Minnesota … loved it ever since I was a kid and had just begun accompanying my dad on hunting trips …

    The challenge … where do I have some nice Red Wing Blackbird shots … quickly found some I shot earlier this year and here is the one that was singing to me when I came across him down at the ponds in Page Springs.

    Twas a beautiful day today with cool temps on the deck for coffee around 6A … One likes it out there then too. A very handsome Bobcat crossed the cart path and disappeared into the arroyo … a few bunnies were grazing and getting ready for the day … our Giant Argentine Cactus got a good drink of water and then as the temperature began the climb towards the mid 90’s, One and I disappeared back into our home and the day was under way.

    A link to my favorite version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oGZg3s1SQ

    Have an absolutely beautiful day today … smile and share the joy you find in life … respect for others and a love of life and those we share it with  … It is really a cool way to go through each day and all of life 🙂

    Cheers,

    Ted

    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.
