… another day of catch up and do things around the house … always a satisfying feeling when you get to see the results of your labor … I did that! Sometimes you just to let things slide for a while though and then when you do it, it is doubly sweet! That’s my category.
A sequence that I shot on Wednesday down at the lake of an egret flipping his catch so that he can swallow the fish headfirst … dorsal fins on fish require that or else the egret is in serious trouble. In the top photo he has flipped the fish out of his beak and in the second one 1/12th of a second later he is recapturing it and hopefully getting the alignment right. It required a few more flips before he got it right.
The photo below is an aerial shot I took of a portion of the north end of Lake Pleasant. I took this photo in October when the water is at its lowest so there are a good many more islands showing it than there are now … it gives you a pretty good idea of the kind of shoreline we are following in our search for birds and in an average day on the lake we cover about thirty miles or more of shoreline.
Into the weekend and wishing each of you days filled with joy and happiness … how we perceive life, and each day is entirely up to us … always a choice … our choice! The plan is to be back Monday morning 🙂
Cheers,
Ted
A FEW hours ago, hot and tired, I was surrounded
by the jargon of business, myself a part of it.
Now somewhere near the middle of the night, I am
sitting by an open window.
Everything is still, and the soft night air is cool.
The sky seems very near, and the stars lie over the
heavens like fields of daisies stretching on and on.
The moon is passing in and out of the clods, making
a shadow-checkered day of the night, and breaking the
sky with shafts of gold.
All silent, the universe is doing is work—beautiful,
mysterious, religious!
What was all the jargon about a few hours ago?
