This hawk was perched in these branches just 10 feet from the ground near the frozen waterfront where I was shooting the sunrise. This shot was taken with an 85mm lens, the longest I had with me.
Reading fantasy novels with strong barbarians, invincible knights and clever magicians grows his self confidence. I love the fact that he *reads*. So few of the kids of his age do...
I took this one for the group Assignment52
Champ really is an odd boy...not only does he love being brushed while not being a fan of fetch, it also appears he gets confidence from wearing an E-collar. You would think he would turn away when it's time to put his E-collar back on after meals, but instead he comes over and sits down in front of me, waiting for it to be put back on. It seems he might actually like his new fashion accessory. You can really see the new confident attitude on his face in this pic.
Supreme knight urges Catholics to put their confidence in Our Lady of Guadalupe
By Andrew Junker | Aug. 10, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Following their 127th Supreme Convention, the Knights of Columbus began their first annual International Marian Congress honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe with an address by their Supreme Knight, Carl Anderson.
He described the congress — which features lectures by Guadalupe experts, art exhibits and public prayer — as a “gathering to discuss the history, meaning and continued relevance of [Our Lady’s] message.”
Anderson cautioned the audience filled mainly by Knights of Columbus and their families against viewing Our Lady of Guadalupe and her miraculous appearance to St. Juan Diego as an historical relic.
“Her apparition was an event that served as a pivotal moment in the history of faith for an entire hemisphere,” he said. “It also serves as a continuing source of inspiration and unity for all who live in the Americas today.”
Before Mary appeared to Juan Diego — an indigenous American — the Spaniards’ efforts of evangelization had stalled in Mexico. In the decade after Our Lady of Guadalupe, millions of native people converted to the faith.
“We do well to place our confidence in the Virgin of Guadalupe, for if she could heal the divide between Aztec and Spaniard in 1531, certainly she can heal the rifts on our continent today,” the supreme knight said.
“In short, her message is for everyone,” he said. “If we listen to the loving message of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we will find a message that transcends border, races or cultural differences, and, instead, unites all of us as children of the mother of the civilization of love.”
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted said that Our Lady of Guadalupe is so important because of what Catholics can learn from her.
“She teaches us how to hear, to hold and to herald the Good News of Jesus Christ,” he said. “She’s the patroness of the unborn; she’s the patroness and mother of all immigrants; and, in a special way, she’s the patroness of evangelization.”
Later, Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, Conn. and Supreme Chaplain to the Knights of Columbus, led a Marian meditation for the hundreds of attendees.
But much of the two-and-a-half day conference will focus on academic subjects, like the symbolic message embedded into Juan Diego’s tilma, or the role Our Lady of Guadalupe played in the history and culture of the Americas.
At the same time, Bishop Olmsted cautioned the knights against approaching La Virgen — or religious faith in general — from a purely intellectual position. Rather, they should learn from the fact that Mary chose not to appear to the powerful in 1531, but to a poor, humble man.
“Knowledge of God is His gift to the childlike, to those with humility and faith,” the bishop said. “The wise and learned of this world can come to know God, and He desires that they do so, but that can happen only when and if they do so not primarily due to their own intelligence.”
After the Marian Congress, the Knights will host an Aug. 8 festival at Glendale’s Jobing.com arena featuring testimonials, a public, multi-language rosary and music from around the world. Officials expect as many as 17,000 people to attend.

This is the beautiful kitten that was lurking around my yard the last few days. I'd guess he was around 8 months old or so. A really charming kitty.
Highway 108 is a high Sierra route cutting to Nevada through Sonora Pass. It is a relatively lonely route, frequently closed due to snowfall. The Western Sierra face is filled with small towns, mainly catering to cabining and outdoor recreation.
