I loved science, and yet I had discovered a whole other realm of reality, one that could not be accessed by formulas or equations but by stripping oneself of “self” and entering the dark, cavernous mystery of the human heart. The laboratory of knowledge was now not only in the world of science but in the world of the soul. To find God without, one must find God within.

Did you know that the leaves and bulb of a Daffodil contain toxic alkaloid called Lycorine. This substance keeps predators (except certain types of insects) on a safe distance. Due to toxic sap in the stem, daffodil should not be kept in the vase with other plants (it is harmful for them). Facts found at www.softschools.com/facts/plants/daffodil_facts/675/
To my knowledge the Roseate Spoonbills in Florida are still scattered around and haven’t yet begun their rookery for this season’s nesting. One morning at Wakodahatchee Wetlands a couple hung around after sunrise and acted like they were looking for a nesting site. They do this every year in an effort to purposedly raise our hopes, only to dash them when they disappear to nest somewhere else. Well, I’m not falling for it this year!

Knowledge without love inflates the ego and deceives the mind. It can lead to intellectual snobbery, an attitude of mockery and making fun of other’s views, a spirit of contempt for those with lesser knowledge, and a demeaning way of dealing with people who disagree. - Alexander Strauch
Every year in late April I eagerly anticipate the return of the loons to our waters. Loons are monogamous, but they arrive back here separately and soon after both of them have returned they begin their mating and nesting season.
I might be biased but I think they are the most ravishing pair of Loons. The female is on the left and she isn't bold like the male. Usually she just takes a shy peek at me then dives under and away. Later in the year when the male has left the lake on one of his excursions (boys' night out) she spends time along my kayak and lets me take shots of her (providing she is not nesting) but for the most part she has no interest. After I took this pic the male floated along my kayak as if having an inflated sense of self (like people who take endless selfies) just before diving under to join his mate. The sun managed to make a brief appearance.....all in all, It was a good night! Haven't been back out yet because we are finally getting some well needed rain and snow. Good thing I planted half my garden. I started journaling the Loons this year because I joined the Bird Association due to a rescue of a sick female Loon (from the pair on the other side of the lake) that sadly didn't make it last year, they were very impressed with my knowledge and wanted me to document all the data They don't call me Loon Lady for nothing ;-)
You never know what might happen do you? If ornamental dinosaurs exist anything is possible in this big Universe:)

I arrived for this on my own, but was soon joined by Doug Birmingham, known in this parish as 8A Rail, for what was a very enjoyable few hours in his knowledgable presence. Thanks Doug!

Como curiosidad decir que en estos terrenos existió un jardín zoológico de nombre Casa de Fieras, inaugurado en 1.774 y clausurado en 1.972. Los animales salvajes estaban en jaulas en penosas condiciones de salubridad, recordando aun en la década de los 60 el fuerte olor que despedían.
As a curiosity, there used to be a botanical jarden in these grounds called Casa de Fieras (House of wild Beats,) inaugurated in 1774 and closed in 1972. The wild animals were locked up in cages in very poor sanitary conditions, and even in the sixties during a visit I can still remender the strong smell they gave off.
The Lower Fox Creek Schoolhouse District #14, completed in 1882, was just one of many signs that a more settled, stable, and established existence was taking shape in the American West. One-room schoolhouses would soon spread across the West as settlers established themselves, believing that only through education and knowledge could a child one day fully participate in American society. The school was operational from 1882 to 1930 and was attended by nearby children. School attendance ranged from 3 to 19 students with all eight grades.
