Catching Some Rays, Great Blue Herons, Burro Creek AZ, March 28, 2011
The five Great Blue Heron pairs nesting on this cliff spend their day leisurely tending the nest and each other. What a privilege it was to be able to watch them for a day.

Over Fifty
Some of this has been painful for me, but it's all been wildly instructive. And it convinced me that nearly every person over fifty should try to find a time to sit down and engage in the same exercise, even if you never intend to publish anything. You need to think about what really meant something to you. Who did you really love. Who really made you what you are. What the seminal events did. And also it's an incredible discipline. Because I found it shocking to me what I remember and what I don't. It's shocking to me what I can remember factually and how hard it is for me to be absolutely sure about how I felt at the time. You know, how did I feel when I was 16? I don't really know.
