for Me Again Monday
Self reflection is a key word in my life..
As a child, people told me "not to think so much", cause I could hurt my brains, lol..
Now I know better..self reflection has brought me to who I am now..
a keen observer of myself & others, a pseudo philosopher,
an analyser of complex human situations..
It was the start of a personal journey and the start of my professional life too,
when you live and work with complex humans, self reflection is an important tool to keep on going..
Hmam ! & never stop thinking in your life & upon your life
adding this hilarious safety warning song..
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at a rule of thirds

Some Sunday self reflection in a gravy ladle......
Today is went shopping with the kid to get supplies to make a double helix, a DNA strand for school. Of course all the kits to make them were out of stock so we stood at Jo-Ann Farics for anything to improvise. I think we got it all worked out, she is planning on having the pinkest, glittery-est double helix this side of the mississippi. LOL.....
When you ask her what her favorite color is, she answers glitter. I was unaware the glitter was a color...
Oh and this one is SOOC!
While testing my new D300s... on the highway...

The Indian Pond Heron or Paddybird (Ardeola grayii) is a small heron. It is of Old World origins, breeding in southern Iran and east to India, Burma, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. They are widespread and common but can be easily missed when they stalk prey at the edge of small water-bodies or even when they roost close to human habitations. They are however distinctive when they take off with bright white wings flashing in contrast to the cryptic streaked olive and brown colours of the body. Their camouflage is so excellent that they will close approach before taking to flight, a behaviour which has resulted in folk names and beliefs that the birds are short-sighted or blind.
They appear stocky with a short neck, short thick bill and buff-brown back. In summer, adults have long neck feathers. Its appearance is transformed from their dull colours when they take to flight, when the white of the wings makes them very prominent. It is very similar to the Squacco Heron, Ardeola ralloides, but is darker-backed. To the east of its range, it is replaced by the Chinese Pond Heron, Ardeola bacchus.
They are very silent but may give a harsh croak when flushed or near their nests.
They are very common in India, and are usually solitary foragers but numbers of them may sometimes feed in close proximity during the dry seasons when small wetlands have a high concentration of prey. They are semi-colonial breeders. They may also forage at garbage heaps. During dry seasons, they sometimes take to foraging on well watered lawns or even dry grassland. When foraging, they allow close approach and flush only at close range. They sometimes form communal roosts, often in avenue trees over busy urban areas.
The Indian Pond Heron's feeding habitat is marshy wetlands. They usually feed at the edge of ponds but make extensive use of floating vegetation such as Water hyacinth to access deeper water. They may also on occasion swim on water or fish from the air and land in deeper waters
Another warped self reflection. If you look close, I'm reflected in the "bubbles".
Today's Random Fact - I'm so tired of sitting on my ass without work of some kind. It's important to me to get some sort of self worth. I get a lot of that through my professional life. It'll come.. but, I'm getting very impatient.
