So that's where they go

Gene, the photographer in yesterday's picture, tipped me off to the Bernardo Wildlife Management Area in Bernardo NM, about 40 miles north of the Bosque. Apparently many of the cranes I've been photographing here at the Bosque go up to Bernardo during the day to munch on the couple hundred acres of corn grown for their (and the Snow Geese's) dining pleasure.

Stay What You Always Were

My sisters have been listening to me all my life and vice versa, and there's a limit to how interesting we find each other. Which is one of the reasons, surely -- this is exactly the kind of thought that didn't come up in conversation -- that it is at least as stifling as it is comforting to be with family. It doesn't allow its members to experiment with themselves. The penalty for being loyally accepted for the whole of your life is that you must stay what you always were.
