    … shortly after we got shots of the Owls, we continued into the depths of the back bay and came on a small herd of wild donkeys feeding and drinking water from the lake … there are hundreds of wild donkeys in the area around the lake and I have seen and photographed many of them. One donkey stood out from the rest in that he had the most beautiful ears I have ever seen on a donkey … stunning is the word that came to mind when I looked at him. So I spent time to get the pose and shot I wanted and this is it. Along with the owl and many other shots we got, this one was worth the trip. A not uncommon animal with uncommonly beautiful features … especially the ears.

    Today was one of those days it is just fun to be alive … no idea why, but it has and continues to be so.

    Maybe an aerial shot tomorrow. The aerial shots like other forms of landscape photography are timeless to us. Not much happens to change the features of earth during our short life spans, so the shots I took years ago still look the same today as when I took them. Over the years I would upload a shoot, do a quick look through them and stop at the first one that caught my eye; thus I have thousands of very good shots that I have not looked at in a serious manner since I took them … a near unending pool of beautiful aerial shots. Tomorrow night we’ll see what happens as I go through some of them.

    Have a beautiful day and smile, you are here..

    Cheers,

    I am the dawn, the whisper of winds, the perfume of morning.
     
    The passing night has fondled me, hovering close to me,softly, silently.
     
    The breaking day builds the spirit temple of my joy. I abandon myself!
     
    It seems to me that never before have I walked with the spirit as now, nor overcome space, time, and the elements as I overcome them now.
     
    I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of night.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.

    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.
