Visually Inspired Behavior
“The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.”
― Krishnamurti
We teach our students content that makes sense but we do not teach skills in how to prepare for situations that do not make sense. Society works hard to present normality as that without disorder. That is to you know where you are; what you are expected to do; and that the flowers you pass every day are the same flowers. However, we do not teach students, to see different flowers on each passing and that the river is not the same. If one in every five adults experience mental illness why is it that schooling is predominately about 'promised' normality and not preparing for the disorder 'of the promise'. One in every four individuals will suffer from a mental health condition in their lives. Schooling for anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress, psychosis, and schizophrenia is required. Society could do well by flipping the school. Every student has a story to tell. School as a check-in rather than a check-out.
Are our students simply learning how to follow the path set by our teachers to prepare them for the path set by employers? Is it possible that schooling could be about enabling students to carve a new path that is not set by curriculum and teachers? Where students learn through trial and error and learn how to deal with success and failure? Where it is about making harmony within the wilderness? Where students are not learning about conventions but schools are learning about authentic self-expression as students create their own meaning?
As a tourist, I usually follow a designated tourist path, designed by the cultural perceptions of tourist authorities and like-minded tourists, and I take photos of the same artifact as taken by other tourists over and over again. Even though we pride ourselves on our capitalist freedoms and individualism we chose culturally similar destinations. Even when the pursuit of attaining personal goals is the backbone of capitalist democracies our behaviors are so much the same. Our systems sell us individualism but our perceptions are constructed on the best practices to succeed. Schools covertly teach individualism within their governing systems. That is, understanding individuality in regards to societal opportunity. The outcome is that capitalist society invests in the merit of acquisition. To access acquisitional power meritocratic individualism is gained via quantification, test-scoring, and qualifications. Whilst teachers work towards virtues such as developing intellectual abilities and moral values, the systematization of education is merit to consume.
A highly individualized society works against encouraging community development where collectives discuss problems, seek solutions, and disperse choice. Those in power and are the minority of people that form the top levels of the hierarchy contain the resources and provide the decision-making pathways that the majority travel. Schools formalize the process through 'soft' prison-like rules and regulations and via manipulation of choice. Those in power know that community voice is not best for a the economic freedoms of an individualist based capitalist democracy. Those in power know where the best tourist sites are and where to get the best selfie at the most photogenic location.
I am not writing about coercion and authoritarianism, I am writing about the freedom to acquire what is available. In the big picture, I am writing about designing pathways to secure corporation profitability or as William Sumner wrote in 1881 supporting the "...competition of man with man in the effort to win a limited supply." If individualism is the basis of civilization and capitalist civilization requires profit, herding is an absolute necessity. The herd becomes the resource.
Populations are herded through the promise of gaining individual freedom. The wilderness is clear-felled to make orderly sense.
Choice options are enabled by individual proximity to wealth.
Continuation of knowledge based on inter-generational understandings of societal power.
Similarity - herds are formed and based on the fear that if you operate outside of the system you are vulnerable.
Closure and satisfaction are guaranteed as unknown reckless risk-taking has been removed.
Visual psychological boundaries have been set into place by authorities to guide user behavior and expectations. What is perceived is governed by a consistent belief that there is a promised reality. What isn't understood and prepared for, is when ourselves our wilderness is once again experienced, and the external promise is seen as the disorder.

An older photo from 2018 but one of my favorites, mainly because it shows such interesting coyote behavior. We witness this behavior fairly often when one group of coyotes meets up with others from their clan. However, I have found it difficult to get into position to be able to photograph such moments. The younger coyotes will lick the face of their parents, wag their tails and show great delight in seeing the rest of the family. Things also become quite noisy. The face licking is leftover behavior from when they were little and still being fed by the parents. It will encourage the parent to regurgitate and feed the pups. Common canine behavior from what I understand. If your dog becomes all happy and wants to lick your mouth area it may be the same behavior.
The photo was shot from a distance at pretty high ISO when I first got the Nikon D500 in 2018. I was using a 70-200 lens and it is also cropped quite a bit. I'll post the setting below in the comments. I'm doing something wrong when transferring my photos and the camera info is not being included.
In about six weeks, the migration of the songbirds will begin. Songbirds migrate at night. They fly in such numbers that weather radar can actually detect the flocks.
I have noticed that, on dark still nights just before dawn I can hear them chattering during peak migration.

When an adult male sea lion starts bellowing at you, he has a single message, "You are in my territory, Go away!" However, our band of intrepid divers was a bit tone deaf. They thought he meant "Take my photo." The sea lion looks a bit confused. Why are they not going away?

It was a very dry and warm day. I was sprinkling water on the plants of my roof garden. Suddenly I spotted a bee drinking water from a small pool of water on a leaf. And then within minutes I found hundreds of them gathered to drink. I was trying to track their path and finally discovered a big beehive under the sunshade of a house 30 yards away from my own. I wonder how they have developed the skill to search for the source of water and communicate for the same to other members of the hive!!!
Later I learned that honey bees sometime drink water. They take the water and put it into their hive. As the bees fan their hive entrance, the water evaporates and helps to cool the beehive. They also use water to dilute honey to feed their larva.
These two male Boat-tailed Grackles and several others were vying for the attention of a nearby female Grackle. Very, very noisy but interesting to watch!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they are truly appreciated. Have a great day everyone!

Not that I know much about birds, but I'd never seen this before. The bird was systematically tugging at the spiderweb, ripping it apart. I couldn't tell if it was taking parts of the web away with it, or what.
It was pretty exciteded to see these Red-necked Grebes displaying thier courtship behavior for us. Though the light wasn't the best on this day, the behavior in my opinion made up for it. These are beautiful birds with wonderful courtship calls and displays.
I'm clinically insane.
Call yourself psychotic enough, and others will believe you, and put it on the net for others to see.
9/365
I'm not completely happy with this but i was running out of light and ideas. I figure the point of a 365 is to develop, not to outdo yourself everyday.
Anyways my reasoning for not posting yesterday (or taking a picture for that matter) was I had homecoming and a dance. Both sucked, but at the dance a get went crazy and had to get the stun gun. Needless to say, he is in juvi for the next six months.

"Sweetie" licks her chops and looks longingly at the suet feeder on my deck. Scroll down to see how she accessed the feeder.......When you feed the birds, you find you may also feed other critters as well! These photos were taken in the evening after the sun had set.....so a bit noisy.

One day when there were lots of brine flies, I noticed the gulls on the shore doing some weird things. You can see two or three of them here getting their heads down low and snapping at the brine flies. They quickly move forward with their heads low and opening their bills. I had never seen anything like it.

When a House Sparrow couple is together this way, they usually appear sweet. But in fact House Sparrows are feisty, even murderous sometimes. If they want some other bird's nest, they are quite willing to kick out that other bird's eggs or hatchlings and take over.
Thank you for your kind visit. It is much appreciated.

A coupe of Tachinid flies sexin' it up before goin' out to look for some leaf-rollers to lay their eggs on. Well, not both of them (just the fem) 'cause you know how lazy them boy flies are!
I had trouble IDing these guys down to the species level, so I had to resort to extreme measures to find anything about these guys.
So, check out the screen dump from that national archives in the comment section. And if you're an entomologist and/or understand their lingo, please have a go at confirming my proposed ID. Thanks

The last shot in a series showing the last fight of a frog (Violence Warning!) The first part was quite a struggle to get the frog out of the water and unlanced. Part two: Was not so easy to get the frog into the gullet. Unfortunately these shots were taken through grass. No. of shots shown here were reduced from about 150. Definately not fine art but behavioral in nature.
The odd thing about this was how the ants that were on the Cheetos were dead still. It was hard to tell if they were even eating. As though they were savoring the smell or something. I didn't spot any of them taking any bits back to their home.
Too bad I didn't have a macro lens with me!
This adult Jay reveals the white forehead marking that identify it as belonging to the interior population of this species. West coast populations and juvenile birds do not have these marks. This species is a regular forested mountain dweller in NM. This guy was cautiously surveying its surroundings before dipping down like this for a drink, at which time they are more vulnerable for attack. They dip down and almost immediately raise their heads to look around and also to aid them in swallowing a beak full of water.
