    … one of the many highlights from yesterdays trip down to the lake was discovering that the Great Horned Owls are back nesting in a cave in the side of a cliff overlooking a narrow channel in the lake … they took a break from the nest last year. In the photo above you can see one of the residents kicking back and napping in the morning sun. Due to the lower water levels in the lake this year, the cave is about 60′ above the water … by backing way off and using a telephoto lens, the angle is reduced and you get a shot that almost looks like you are level with the cave and owl.

    Next below is a Great Egret taking off from a cliff overlooking the lake … the elegance of these birds is amazing as is the Great Blue Heron immediately below the egret … he had been wading in the water feeding and was annoyed by our presence … taking off and trailing water droplets.

    The last photo is a shot of a Gulfstream 5 coming in for a landing … they are amazingly beautiful flying machines … but will never touch the beauty of what nature has created.

    Back to two photos tomorrow night and some airscapes that I found and haven’t worked up yet. Nothing like the view that creatures with wings have …

    Have a beautiful day and share a smile with those you meet and greet today.

    With joy,

    Let me forgive much, forget more;
    Let me close my eyes and fall half asleep,
    That the pictures may grow softer and stiller,
    And the life, O thou God! again grow gentle.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
