A day in Pinetop

yellow headed blackbird perched on a cat-tail.

Horned goose, looking thoughtful.

Osprey with a fish in his talons. I wish I had brought my longer lens.

Red winged blackbird on a cat-tail.

Another one on a branch. I tweaked around with the color just for fun. Probably should have left it alone.

I don't know the name of this flower.

Fisherman.

Some sort of dandelions I think.

And a shy one too. Click on any of the photos for a larger view.

Shadows

President Barack Obama recently gave a commencement speech at wherein he emphasized to the graduates that they should think about doing the work which they have passion for-- to be thinking about what they can contribute beyond that which they stand to gain for themselves, materially or otherwise. Good advice, I think. We all have the opportunity to touch the lives of others, and what we leave behind is an example of how we lived, and the memories in those who survive us. We all have different destinies to some extent, and different lessons that we collect as we live our lives. There is no cookie-cutter advice which will suffice for everyone at all times, that's why we are here for each other, why we are all similar and yet so different. Life is a continual revelation, so revel in it .

Fascinated with abandoned houses

I'm often fascinated with houses which nobody seems to want anymore.

Add to your faith, virtue. Add to your virtue, knowledge.
