  Chickadee by David Friederich

  Small birds like this chickadee feasted on flying termites during my photo trip to the Oyster Bay Regional Park in early September.

  Don't Stare At Us! by Dayonda

  DIGNITY / _ A Sociology Lesson_ Don’t stare at us / and talk behind our backs. / We’re just folks / who love each other like you do. Don’t say we’re cute / and think we should hold hands: / We don’t do things / just the same way you folks do. Don’t take our photo / and show us to all your friends. / We have our own kind / of dignity and and our own ways. We’re not exotic captives / to point at and jabber in front of: / We speak your language / and it’s you that’s strange to us. -=Wooly (the small gray cat) We wrote this little note to those who travel. / Having lived in tourist spots most of our lives, / we know how critters in the zoo and people of / other cultures feel when gawked at, snapped at / without permission, and how being spoken loudly / and slowly at in another language feels. Cats know.

  Standing Stones / by Loreena McKinnett stirs my soul, as do the Dolmen or table stones that served as a burial chamber before the earth covering it was washed away. Marking the entrance to ANNWN, the Otherworld, the blessed land of eternal youth where the dead wait ready for their rebirth. / This photograph was taken last Summer Solstice from atop a high bluff overlooking the Columbia River, with the watchfull Mount Hood guarding from a distance. Amarica’s Stonehenge is a World War I memorial, the altar stone was in place by July 4, 1918 and dedicated with a bronze plaque which reads:”In memeory of the soldiers and sailors of Klickitat County, who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in hope that others, inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism, may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism, which death alone can quench.” / This replica was completed in 1929, and since has become War memorials for all US involved conflicts since. / Although it’s not the original, which is built in the Salisbury Plains, in England during the late Stone-age and early Bronze-age periods, between 2750 to 1500 BC; Sam Hill’s scheme to replicate an astronomical observatory on another continent, was quite the undertaking in the early 1900’s. The saying, “Where in the Sam Hill did you get a notion like that” was coined from this undertaking…
