    Today’s Photo From Ted Grussing Photography: Things That Go Bump and Por Favor

    … it was wonderful to be back on the lake this morning … something special is brought back into the soul.

    The water level is down almost 20′ from my last visit in early July and the propeller was exploring forgotten contours of the lake bed whilst we plied shallow waters of a diminished lake. Backgrounds for the birds were rather uninteresting so like the cattle ponds where I shoot blue birds, a little creative work was necessary to emphasize the beauty of the creatures.

    Above is a Great Blue Heron seemingly asking for a little favor … perhaps a donation of a fish which was rather hard to spot in the very shallow and muddy water he was fishing in or perhaps to simply leave him alone as he meditates in the early morning sun.

    Below is a photo of a Great Egret as he departed from a tree in now shallow waters. The branch in the lower left was from a tree we bumped into as we neared the egret … I set up a course for the bird and then with steerage established and viewing the subject through the lens, I focus on the bird until he flies … I miscalculated a little bit and the bow of the boat suddenly went upwards as we entangled ourselves in the tree … but I got the shot 🙂

    Into the weekend … have beautiful days and give thanks for the gift of life …. back Monday morning.

    Smiles,

    Ted

    Go afield and dream and forget;
    and you will see that you are changed when
    you return and the lights of the city
    gleam in the twilight.

    War
    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
