    … or perhaps he was just doing a little body surfing. I took this shot of a drake ringneck in early January … he came in for a landing in the normal way with his webbed feet forward, tail down and as soon as his feet contacted the water he tucked them back, stretched his body out and put himself on a plane and ripped through the water like a miniature speed boat. He eventually settled in the water, but I think he just decided to have some fun skimming along the surface of the water as far as he could. If they belonged to the human race I am sure that there would be a competition to see who could go the farthest before settling in the water … maybe a target to land on and then the furthest and fastest  distance surfing across the water … winner gets a trophy minnow to eat!

    It was a very good day … rain making its way in tomorrow and likely staying through the week. Why stay inside? Come join us at the Mary Fisher Theater Friday afternoon at 4PM and enjoy even more photos of wildlife doing what they do and aerial photography of Sedona and the Colorado Plateau in crystal clear air and incredible lighting … the best of the best.

    grussing_20200310_finleyFinley and Michele will be in the lobby operating the sales table after the show … portraits of Finley are available as well as cards, and copies of my books … a good way to close out the afternoon. Buy tickets and leave comments at: https://prod5.agileticketing.net/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=124351~e8932fbb-a9ae-4437-a638-ff0cf1793527&epguid=f7b94766-699c-4aa0-9f9b-8245a9cefc05&

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing … at least until after you come to the show on Friday … and well beyond that. Share a smile with those you meet and greet as we all need the warmth they bring into our lives.

    Cheers

    All around is haste, confusion, noise,
    For power and wealth men stretch the day
    From dawn to dusk. But quietly
    I go my way.
     
    For glitter, show, to taunt the crown,
    Desire-tossed in wild dismay,
    Men sell their souls. But quietly
    I go my way.
     
    The green of all the fields is mine,
    The stars, the night, the wind at play,
    A peaceful heart, while quietly
    I go my way.
     
    — 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.
