Makes Me Twitch. Great Blue Heron, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 25, 2010
Makes me twitch
Makes me twitch, it does. Most of the pictures I took on this outing with Kate & Terry are lousy. Somehow I lost my focus and got the exposures all wrong. Bah! There is so so much to learn about this DSLR photography stuff. This Great Blue Heron posed with great patience and I messed up. Guess I won't be putting heron pictures from this outing up here after all.

Life is to be Lived, Not Controlled
No indeed, the world is just as concrete, ornery, vile and sublimely wonderful as before, only now I better understand my relation to it and it to me. I lived a public life and attempted to function under the assumption that the world was solid and all the relationships therein. Now I know men are different and that all life is divided and that only in division is there true health. Hence again I have stayed in my hole, because up above there's an increasing passion to make men conform to a pattern.
.... Whence all this passion toward conformity anyway? - diversity is the word. Let man keep his many parts and you'll have no tyrant states. Why, if they follow this conformity business they'll end up by forcing me, an invisible man, to become white, which is not a color but the lack of one. Must I strive toward colorlessness? But seriously, and without snobbery, think of what the world would lose if that were to happen. .....Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in the face of certain defeat.
