Photos In & Around

And right now I’m cleaning this up. I’m removing the published photos of others. The photos should only be the ones I have taken. This is going to take a bit of time as I posted way too many! They are appropriately posted in THOUGHTS.

“How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.” —RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH by Philip K. Dick

In Radio Free Albemuth, his last novel, Philip K. Dick morphed and recombined themes that had informed his fiction from A Scanner Darkly to VALIS and produced a wild, impassioned work that reads like a visionary alternate history of the United States. Agonizingly suspenseful, darkly hilarious, and filled with enough conspiracy theories to thrill the most hardened paranoid, Radio Free Albemuth is proof of Dick’s stature as our century’s greatest science fiction writer.

But and then. We always have to ask, especially with Sci-Fi, which is fiction, and which is the inside trip, the following of the yellow-brick road inside the gray matter. Valis.

From Nature’s Beauty

I cannot imagine our lives here in this beautiful country without all of our national forests and parks and rivers all protected. How fortunate we are that people like Muir and Roosevelt saw the future and knew we needed to be saved.

The Heron

herons

Cuyahoga Valley National Park shared Andrea Nagy‘s photo.

Yes, winter is in the air this morning. But so is love, Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles. Thanks to Andrea Nagy for sharing this lovely image. Go ahead…awwwww.

The heron. Such an incredible bird. We used to take a boat out on the river, the Mississippi, and go into one of the byways to search for rookeries. There you would find them, up high above, nesting and waiting. It always struck me as so incongruous that something so big, with legs so long and seemingly frail would nest above. It seemed they should nestle on the banks, into the mud and safety of fallen trees, broken branches. Even when you know what to expect, a surprise, up high above.
