    … when I started shooting wildlife, I did a lot of work with waterfowl … ducks and geese and that kind of mirrored my early years when I spent a lot of time in sloughs and wetlands plus all the years hunting them. The subject matter has greatly expanded over the years and once in a while I find that I have not shot any ducks for an extended period of time … so here are a couple of shots I took earlier this year.

    The top photo is a Ringneck on his take off run … diving ducks typically run across the surface of the water to gain speed for their takeoff … dabblers rocket skyward with a strong thrust of their wings into the water and a jump with their powerful webbed feet and rising many feet into the air.

    Below are four Ringnecks and a Redhead in flight at Lake Pleasant and a mountain in the background … love them!

    Short one tonight as I get up in four hours to head down to the lake for an early morning shoot … lake level is down ten feet from a few weeks ago … the farmers crops are happy though.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and give thanks for the privilege of life … smile!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Work as if thy task were made for thee;
    Be strong as if thou hadst courage,
    And charitable as if thou hadst been rewarded;
    Remain poor if riches are dishonorable,
    And carry poverty with the dignity of virtue.
    When others dine sumptuously, eat thy crust;
    Let love be thy guide and justice thy God—
    Not for thyself alone, but for all men.
    Pursuing these things you will be misjudged
    And in the gloaming of thy days, forgotten;
    Then, uncomplaining, lie thou down at eve,
    Cheered by the love in thy heart.
    And by the full-grown soul of thy charity;
    Then hast thou won the heroic battle,
    Yet not stained the sweet earth with blood;
    But in the garden of love and sacrifice,
    Hast thou planted serenely growing flowers,
    That shall still blow when thou dost slumber
    In the shadow-land of dreamless sleep.

    The Greater Heroism by Max Ehrmann

    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.
