    … in the photograph above you can see part of a new subdivision of custom homes being constructed by craftsmen of very high skill levels. Diligent and hardworking, they have a timeline they have to meet to complete the dwellings in time to have their offspring and a place to nurture them through the first weeks of their lives.

    The home/nest in the lower left portion of the image is done and occupied. The other homes/nests are still under construction. The Cliff Swallows take a beak full of mud/clay from the opposite shore, fly back across the bay with the load and deposit it on the edge of previous construction until they get the walls built up and leaving a hole for entry and exit. The top of the home will be the the cliff overhang just above the swallows like the one in the lower left.

    Check the beak load of mud that the swallow on the far left has in his beak as he flies towards us and then to his new home construction.

    There are dozens of these nests being built on the cliff you are looking at … perhaps fifty or more feet and the air traffic back and forth is kinda like LA International.

    I have had so many requests for prints of the owls that I am am working up an image that will be available in 10 x 10, 12 x 12 and 16 x 16. Paper or metal and will try and have that up tomorrow night.

    Wrapping the day … leave for the lake at 4:15 AM and need to get my four hours of sleep.

    Cheers … we are alive!

    Oh, here, dear heart, how oft I’ve sat in summer
    weather,
    Alone with stars and dreams of you!
    The stars will bring us yet together,
    Like dawn that’s kissed with dew.
     
    Although I know my wild heart’s savage love will
    soften,
     
    None other shall I ever woo,
    And in the starry night yet often
    I’ll breathe a prayer to you.

    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.
