    … when coming in low, new movements not seen before. Mostly ducks and mergansers are dropping in at a relatively high angle and they are set up for landing with their webbed feet deployed well before touching down. This merganser got up and flew from the end of the pond I was at and flew just a foot or so above the water before coming back in for a landing. No room to swing the gear down and forward, so when his tail feathers touched the water he swung his legs outwards and then forward. Kind of a cool look and glad I got the shot.

    Another delightful day and a delightful flight late morning/early afternoon. Flew down into the Prescott Valley and shot erosion patterns in the hills and valleys as well as shooting the lakes. The lakes look full so will be heading down there with the boat early next week. Has to be a lot of migratory waterfowl and birds down there.

    Another day is underway … time for rest before I can brew some extra fine pure Kona coffee in the morning. Roasting is on the schedule for tomorrow also.

    Have a beautiful day … reach out and call a friend you have not talked to in a while … keep breathing too and smile.

    Cheers

    The Dawn
    One morn I rose and looked upon the world.
    “Have I been blind until this hour?” I said.
    O’er every trembling leaf the sun had spread,
    And was like golden tapestry unfurled;
    And as the moments passed more light was hurled
    Upon the drinking earth athirst for light;
    And I, beholding all this wondrous sight,
    Cried out aloud, “O God, I love Thy world!”
    And since that waking, often I drink deep
    The joy of dawn, and peace abides with me;
    And though I know that again I shall see
    Dark fear with withered hand approach my sleep,
    More sure am I when lonely night shall flee,
    At dawn the sun will bring good cheer to me.
    — 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.
