For strobist. Similar to www.flickr.com/photos/starmag/2937551549/ but at 1/4000 to gain a fraction of a feeling of movement within the image. f8. Again, in a cheap fish tank with two SB-800's. One on camera to fire the second as a slave, positioned off to the right (almost touching the plastic tank as lots of power is lost at this speed). First flash does not fire but second flash is bounced off silver foil on the left hand side of the tank.

Mom and her male fawn spend some time in the pond. After a nice pause that refreshed the young buck jumped and played in the water before returning to the woods with mom.

My heart hurts to see what is happening in North Dakota. The greatest gathering of Native people perhaps in history...fighting [by prayers and songs, mind you] to protect their source of drinking water...emphasizing that they have in mind not only their own grandchildren's future, but all of their neighbors who depend on water from the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The pipeline is supposed to cross under the Missouri, after plowing through the ancestral burying grounds of the Sioux.. The Sioux [by treaty, the actual owners of the land] are calling for a halt to pipeline construction until the proper environmental review is done.
Really - is there any excuse to NOT be a water protector?
This is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country, with waters crystal-clear.
What if an oil company wanted to run an oil piipeline through here? [They don't - they have trains, long trains, of oil tankers going just east of the lake, along Lake Champlain, moving the oil to a port where it gets shipped overseas].
But what if they did? And routed the pipeline right through the community cemetery, where my grandparents and all my other family members were buried? And did all this with no environmental review? And what if the alarmed citizens of the area took to the streets to protest [peacefully, with no weapons allowed], and the State called out the National Guard - and soldiers from 5 other states poured in, with tanks, rifles, tear gas, mace, rubber bullets, helicopters, and a sound cannon?
All of this is happening out in North Dakota. As I watched fully armed soldiers spraying peaceful - but determined - Water Protectors as they attempt to protect their only water source, the Missouri River...spraying them in the face repeatedly...I could only think of the Salt Marches in India, where the peaceful followers of Ghandi marched in waves towards their source of salt, to be met by the thrashing clubs of the British army.
Who has the moral high ground?
Water is Life.
Contested waters of Standing Rock, North Dakota. The encampment of protestors rest right along this river. As the sun set, it makes for quite a peaceful scene.

The Standing Rock Sioux vows to continue the fight in the courts.

“Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”
~ Scott Adams
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson
