After watching the geese fly out (and waiting endlessly for the cranes to do the same), we moved on to one of the other ponds. Lots of cranes hanging around there, too. They were leaving in small groups like this one, four or five at a time.
There's almost the full range of flight motion in these five birds - the sort of thing DaVinci might have sketched as a flight study of the crane.
When I discovered that it was terribly awkward to photograph the bluebird nestboxes with my new Nikon D200 (little nestbox, great big lens, shooting blind) it occurred to me that maybe I should upgrade from my beloved three-year old Panasonic FZ10. I had seen so many lovely shots with the Canon S3 IS, I decided on that. There they are side-by-side.
The Canon feels very small in my hands, but then I've mainly been playing with the Nikon for the last several weeks, and it is definitely not small. But I think I will send the Canon back, and probably get a Canon S5 IS when it comes out in July. I think my poor old eyes would benefit from the larger LCD, and I think I'd like the extra megapixels too. No disrespect to the S3 IS!
I believe this to be the female Familiar Bluet. It was found within a few feet of the male featured in my previous post.
What i really love about painting is that it can be not just an additive process, but also subtractive. I used washes of white spirit to peel away the oil paint, giving the effect above.

How do people with ADHD study? Good lord, I'm lucky that the class I am doing the major work in right now is largely informal. We basically read articles and discuss them in "class", which is an electronic message board. I still can't totally let go of my worry about not being "intellectual" enough. I don't do academic speech. I never learned it, and at this point in my life, I actively distrust it. Maybe my bias is showing, but if I can say what needs saying in a brief and clear manner, shouldn't that count for something?
I took some time off of work because it was making me crazy. I am hoping to go in in the morning with a clearer sense of boundaries for myself. Get to work on time. Take one hour for lunch, away from my desk. Leave work on time, headed for another library where I will read and ponder for a few hours before going home and going to bed at a decent hour.
On Thursdays I will head straight home so that I might watch bullshit television on NBC from 8-9:30. At 9:30 I will ponder why I hate Scrubs so much.
Today was a day I felt blessed and thankful in spite of some of my challenges. I thank the universe for being able to go to grad school. I thank the universe for being able to move cross country *again*. I thank the universe for helping me find post-divorce clarity. I thank the universe for teaching me to have faith in myself again.
Most of all, I thank the universe for bringing my playful, sexy, funny side back. I sure have missed her.

Taken in Downtown Berkeley, at the bottom of the escalator which goes from the BART station to street level. I am in love with the architecture here - concentric circles broken by a steel diagonal, bridging the underground with the open world.

Here's the view from my new study window. Holme Island is connected to the coastal road by a causeway, otherwise it's nearly completely surrounded by the sea at high tide. Arnside and Arnside Knott is to be seen over Holme Island. I'm beginning to think I'll spend too much time just looking at it, the work put to one side!
