    … after spending the morning cleaning and renovating the evaporative cooler, I felt like creating some beauty that would look good on a wall in my home, so here are the two I finished today.

    Above are three American White Pelicans that I shot down at Lake Pleasant. We were able to get quite close to them (about 40 feet) so they pretty well filled the frame. They are so beautiful and when they extend their wings, awesome is the word that comes to mind … their wingspans are about nine feet when mature and they are among the finest of natural soaring machines.

    Below is a Western Bluebird just leaving a thorned branch and entering flight as he dives off the branch with wings fully extended and spread. Birds have full control of their feathers and can move them in any manner they need for fully controlled flight. They also change out their feathers every year when they molt … feathers get damaged over time and birds replace them in an orderly manner each year and are able to retain flight status while doing so.

    Into the weekend for me … keep breathing and enjoy the life you live each day … it is a choice!

    LINCOLN, rise up from thy tomb to-day,
    Thou lover of the lives of common men,
    America hath work for thee again.
    Here women want in sight of wealth’s display,
    Man grinds his brother down and holds a sway
    As in the times of bloody lash and den,
    Save now the flesh is white, not black as then.
    In toiling holes young girls grow old, decay,
    Though thou art dead, could but thy soul return
    In one who loves his fellow-men as thou;
    Instead of greed that we might justice learn,
    Love character in place of gold as now,
    Write far across our native land’s sweet soul,
    “Here none shall live upon another’s toil!”

    America by Max Ehrmann

    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→
