Leak, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, January 27, 2010
The birds here at the Bosque National Wildlife Refuge live in a closely monitored and managed environment. The staff is constantly moving water around and a day or so ago they started a big pump to send water down through this meadow and into the shallow ponds where so many water birds roost and get their pictures taken. A bit is leaking out of the meadow through this old valve into the acequia (canal) in the foreground. I'm not sure where the acequia goes but I'm guessing it ends up in those same ponds. Now I'm curious - I'll have to check it out next time I walk down to the ponds.

The Only Misfortune Of It
The only misfortune of it is that Mr. Jefferson's sayings are never well digested, often extravagant, and never consistently pursued. He has not a clear head, and never pursues any question through. His ambition and his cunning are the only steady qualities in him. His imagination and ambition are too strong for his reason.
