Since my eldest child spoke her first word I have been banging on to my children to think before they speak.
Unfortunately, this last week, both of my children have been on the receiving end of careless comments.
We also teach them that words shouldn't hurt, and actions speak louder etc. but regardless, I think mindfulness is becoming less valued. I am constantly surprised by what is said by other children. I have no idea why they would feel the need to make such comments to people who are supposedly their friends.
Anyway, this photo reflects how I feel this week, and I love my light box so it really needed to be in a photograph.
I think I've finally figured out exactly what this particular hawk is. Clark and Wheeler's "Hawks of North America" second edition says first plumage adult (subadult) female Cooper's hawks have "bright yellow, occasionally orangish eyes." The eyes of this hawk are yellow, not orangish like first plumage adult (subadult) male Cooper's and adult Cooper's of both sexes. My earlier guess of "second year juvenile transitioning to adult plumage or a juvenile female" wasn't that far off.

Sometimes I wonder what spins in his head. He's a real thinker with a lot of questions. Right now he wonders where our blood comes from? should I be worried? ;)

I've been wanting to do this one since i started this project, and i suppose this is the perfect day.
I think that the picture speaks for itself, the solution is in our hands, its easy, just demands a bit of responsibility from all of us.
I think this is the last of my Appalachian Trail photographs. It feels strange to be back home after being so immersed in the trail. I miss it.
Brother Chuck (aka Bilbo) and I drove from Fayetteville to Above the Clouds Hostel on Monday, March 7. From there Lucky (not the Lucky1 in this photograph) shuttled us to the Springer Mountain parking lot. We hit the trail about 2:00. Given the mid-afternoon start, we were only planning to go to the Stover Creek Shelter, less than two miles north.
We arrived at the shelter about 3:15, before the heavy rain moved in. There was still plenty of room. We set up in the loft and watched the deluge move through. After the rain, the stoves came out and dinner was served. The dedicated fire sitters got the fire going again. We slept warm and dry in the shelter, though I did put my puffy on sometime during the night.
I enjoyed the Stover Creek Shelter. The roof over the picnic tables was wonderful.
I plan to see this place again.
(It appears that my Cinestill developer had had too many rolls of film developed with it. Both this and the previous roll were significantly under-developed. Cinestill one-step developer has its advantages, but I plan to go back to my Kodak D76.)

I think this is the last daytime Shuttle Liftoff. The Shuttle Pad was across the Indiana River. The river is about 3 to 5 miles wide. The sky was blue, and liftoff was a amazing to see, hear and feel.
