Nature meets construction in a suburban skyscape — a crane under a bright blue sky dotted with soft white clouds appears to intersect with leafless tree branches on a sunny winter day.

I noticed two opposing architectural details on a building in Seattle, took a shot of each one and thought they would make a nice collage for our Labor Day Holiday.
Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, street parades and athletic events.

Yesterday - caught this second when one of our remaining Ruby-throated hummingbirds was tussling with a migrating Monarch for one of our Torch sunflowers. The flowers are up to 9 feet tall - that's our roof in the background. Both the Monarchs and hummers are headed soon to Mexico! More Monarch photos soon ... our North Georgia yard
Happy Labor Day!

“One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.”
—Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, Volume II, Book VII, Chapter VIII, 1862

Laying the mosaic pavement requires backbreaking labor. It's an arduous job performed in a prostrate position, making this traditional art of calçeteiros both rare and expensive. When wet, the surfaces of "calçadas" tend to be slippery and can contribute to slips and falls. Also, the moisture breaks down the design requiring frequent maintenance. For this reason, today’s government is considering a way of creating a safer pavement for the pedestrian while at the same time maintaining the unique beauty of this art form as an important part of the nation's identity and heritage.
Of all my wildlife blessings over the years, this encounter has to be in the top three. While walking the beaches of Ft. Pickens Florida back in early April of 2021, I had a pod of 12+ Bottlenose dolphins frolicking some 50 yards off the beach.
Through my travels and my many years in the Navy, I have seen and photographed dolphins too many times to count. This morning, and these two dolphins in particular, were acting very differently than any other I have seen.
They were hovering just below the surface, making wakes that indicated that at least one of them was moving about while submerged. Then they would both rise, take a breath and resume the same action. Being a kid from Indiana, I had no idea what was going on. I thought she might be giving birth, but having only been around dogs, cows, horses, buffalo, alpacas and my bride (twice) while giving birth…I had no idea what dolphin labor, especially with 99% of it taking place under water and out of view, looked like.
This photograph captures the last time they broke the surface together. This is the breath taken to make that last push that grants birth.
The next photograph taken and already shared, was of the baby breaking the surface and taking its first breath.
Looking back now, the odd wake while submerged was her staying somewhat stationary while he swam circles around her…no doubt keeping one eye on his bride, and the other looking out for possible predators while she was at her most vulnerable.
Witnessing special times can be such a gift from God!

For the working class of America this day means a three day weekend and an opportunity to have a BBQ and a family gathering, but it's been a generation since inception and I'd like to make a reminder here. We scoff at what China is doing right now, but they are going through the exact same things America did in the not so distant past. Slavery, indentured servitude, child labor, and then union strife. Like reading a book you can see them turning the page on greed as these things for them like us will be overcome and the people will be respected and compensated fairly hopefully sooner than latter. I believe that America can help by removing them from most favored nation status and force them to this centuries standards on how we treat people and pollution. That said, I thank goodness for those MILLIONS who fought, who died, who persevered to free our slaves, who outlawed child labor, who organized our workers so that they may be compensated according to their labor and hold accountable those in power to protect those who are not. Power to the people, and God bless America.
