    Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: … with Wings

    … after untold millennia man has created wings whereby we can mimic the flight of all those beautiful creatures that inhabit earth and have been designed for flight, be they large or the tiniest of insects. While we can duplicate and in some ways go far beyond what nature has created we do not come close to the versatility and maneuverability of natures creatures.

    The shot above was taken at Sampley airfield near Aquila when I was descending to do a high speed low pass across the field before pulling up and flying an abbreviated pattern and landing. Next below is a shot of Quinn, a dark morph ferruginous hawk (near eagle size) who was flying low across a field in search of a rabbit or? and below this missive a photo of a blue damsel fly perched on a stick protruding above the surface of Lake Pleasant and perhaps dining on an unseen tiny thing. There is nothing like flight and especially in a high performance sailplane … forever thankful for those who came before and brought forth machines wherein man was capable of flight.

    Way late and time to wrap the day … have an absolutely beautiful day … just turned the outside lights on and it looks like we have several inches of snow on the ground and all is silent.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Though changed as are my songs from youth,
    A voice within my heart still sings,
    “Live thou in tenderness and truth,
    And love mankind instead of things.”
    And often in the crowded mart,
    With wrangling, selfish, slaves of men,
    These words like some old song will start,
    And bring me to myself again.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
