“She lived in the moment, surrendered to whatever the day presented, and remained her true, original self. Her success was spiritual, perhaps the hardest of all to achieve. And because of that, she was the happiest and lived the longest of them all.”

Quite an interesting group, though rather more staid than I usually have. Monday we do the Quantocks.

We've been watching 1970s music videos and there's an incredible contrast between the brilliance of the music and the abysmal awfulness of the clothes. Gladys Knight and the Pips are dressed up like leprechauns. Kiki Dee's outfit for her duet with Elton John looks like something her mom made.

Great Blue Heron. Those wings.

A large blue bird, a Great Blue Heron in flight. The wings are outstretched straight a a board. The setting is a local arboretum. The background is greenery on the far shore of the marsh channel.

On this day in 1968, runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos not only won gold and bronze in the 200m at the Mexico City Olympics, but also raised their Black-gloved fists during the national anthem—creating one of the most powerful political statements in sports history. ✊🏾

There were 4 Great Blue Herons at our Arboretum Saturday. I think 2 were migrants and they were fun to see. They all got excited when the other two flew in. Talking to each other. Following each other up and down the far shoreline of the marsh. Here's a nice in-flight shot.

A large blue bird with a yellow beak is flying over a marsh area. The wings are up and the legs straight back. It's long neck is tucked close to it's body.
