This morning my friend Sue and I went out to one of our nearby lakes (10 minutes from my house) and kayaked for about an hour and a half. There was no one else on the lake and it was very still. Just a few damselflies still buzzing around following the explosion of them I saw last week. We saw a Western Grebe, a Bald Eagle, and a Great Blue Heron. A few mother ducks were leading their families on tours of the lake. Now it’s back to the office to resume consideration of such challenging matters as pernicious “referral spam” and conquering RSS. Meantime, I have that calm, still image in my mind to steer me through a busy Friday.
