    … about a quarter of a second before the shot from last night, our Blue Heron looked like this … he was just lowering his landing gear and beginning to rotate and force his body downward and bring the wings to a very high angle of attack and provide maximum braking power to arrest his forward motion and stall out as he touched down. The feathers all look pretty well in flight mode at this moment, but as he increases the angle of attack of his wings all the normal airflow over the wings is disrupted and the feathers on the top of the wing are sucked up and away from what had been a nice smooth surface.

    Every time I look back at yesterdays photo I want to chuckle at how absolutely un-airworthy he looks with feathers rising up everywhere and chaos with the confused air that he is in as he is dropping out just inches off the ground. I love getting shots of birds and anything that goes airborne.

    Busy day underway and doing some Sedona Film Festival in the afternoon … there is a film dealing with MS I want to see with friends and then dinner out. Friday it is back to the classroom and then into the weekend. I’ll be back Monday morning if all goes as planned.

    Have a wonderful day … let yourself be amazed by the terrific people around you and smile … we are blessed.

    I bring but this one common thought, my life has wrought;
    That from the dregs of drear despair, still everywhere
    There is a joy I yet may sip – Tis comradeship
    With all mankind, the high and low
    I know.
    — 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.
