Oooooh... It Feels Good to Stretch!, Great Blue Herons, Burro Creek AZ, March 28, 2011
Bah!
On discovering these herons nesting on the cliff across the creek from Burro Creek Campground late Saturday afternoon I took literally a thousand pictures that afternoon and early the next morning only to discover every single one of them was at least slightly blurry. Some were worse than others but none were as crisp as I expected with my camera mounted on my firmly planted tripod. It took quite a while for me to figure this one out - I forgot to turn off the camera's image stabilization system. It gets confused by the stability of the tripod and shakes the camera trying to figure out what's happening. Bah!

Tools for Communicating
There is no one who can know everything anymore, because there is simply too much information for one lifetime. In the gaps, our tools grow (I choose the organic term carefully), and they allow people to unite and divide movements, to undermine leaders, to elect the unwilling to roles of leadership into which they might grow. No single person can dominate in this world for very long these days, because our tools for communicating link us like ants and we can move the world while undemocratic leaders try to hold it still. People peck the man on the big horse to death like hungry ducks if he leads them down the wrong path or takes too many liberties on the journey.
