Anyone who has had little kids gets this........
Yes I was that close (no crop) and no I was not in any danger. A car is one of the most effective blinds there is and I was safely sitting inside mine when this bison calf and its mom strolled by. If you are quiet and do not make any sudden moves the animals will typically not be alarmed and their behavior will remain natural. I find this true even with small, skittish birds.
Happy Friday!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

In need of some sun? I may be ready for a bit.....memories of a beautiful fall afternoon.
Join me on Facebook as well!
If I tell you I need you, do not take it lightly. I do everything I can to never depend on anyone, so if I say, "I need you," it means that I trust you to catch me when I fall.
I was needing my magpies today. Revisiting one of my favorite times ever with them. I can't wait until I see them again!!

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone because
I can't fight it any more
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't come but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk
and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now

I don't need quotes a be a better human, I don't need them to express myself. I don't need them to have more self-confidence. My words are my pictures, they are talking to those who understand.
Sorry, I don't wear false feathers, I don't need them to feel more pretty.
Bulls*** Asymmetry Principle
The amount of energy needed to refute bulls*** is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Also known as Brandolini’s Law, the Bulls*** Asymmetry Principle captures a circumstance we’ve all experienced. Those with an indifference to the truth are at an advantage. An argument is easily made. But dissecting a claim and verifying propositions and evidence is tiresome. And what if it’s part of the bulls****er’s plan to keep us busy refuting his nonsense?
I share the above principle, created in 2013 as a segway into this photograph. It is from my archives and was taken on 07 October, 2018 in Silver Glen on the docks of The Juniper Club.
As a tradition, I pass on photographing blue herons as they have become like robins…they are everywhere and way too easily photographed! In this case, a large pickerel looking to be near death swam slowly just below the docks. The heron stabbed it, snatched it up, walked it over to the grass behind the dock and proceeded to try and swallow it. As I sat in my chair fishing, I lifted my camera that unfortunately had my 600mm on it, deciding to capture its attempt to swallow the fish whole. This shot is not cropped vertically, it was all I could get without getting up and walking away.
Watching as it lifted it, I did some “Fancy Cyphering” (Jethro Bodine reference) and realized that the length of the fish was greater than the length of the heron body (minus tail feathers) and if swallowed, some of the fish’s tail would surely be in the heron’s neck. Not to mention the girth of the fish. I sat my camera back down to watch the action. The heron rocked the pickerel back and forth a few times building momentum, then with what seemed to be all the strength it had, while maintaining this grip, swung the fish high in the air and swallowed it with ease!
I watched in amazement as the large lump in its throat quickly slid out of sight and into its stomach! My mind quickly spun back into fancy cyphering mode as I tried to guess the weight of the bird* vs the weight of the fish…and if it would be able to fly now with that heavy a load of cargo?
*I just googled the average weight of a blue heron. It can range from roughly 4-8lbs. Let's call this one 6lbs…the fish was certainly in the 4-5lb range…that is a huge get for this hunter!
It continued to stand around for a few minutes until I decided to change locations. Once I got up, it swatted down for takeoff, pushed off the dock into the air. Remarkably, the weight of its meal didn’t seem to slow it down a bit.
Had I not seen “the swallow” for myself, I might have thrown the BS card on someone else telling this tale!
