The joys of watching flowing water. The sound and changing colors, the reflections of stones in the stream, life flowing where it needs to go. A splendid place to sit and listen to the dance of light on rocks, twigs, and logs. A blessing to enjoy.

Right time and right place for this winter sunset at the Salton Sea in southern California. It is below sea level and a flyway for geese and other birds at least until one day in the future maybe 10 years it evaporates. Largest lake in the state for now area wise.

Dufourspitze (in German, lit. Dufour Peak) , Pointe Dufour (in French), Punta Dufour (in Italian), or Monte Rosa is the second highest mountain in the Alps and western Europe[and the highest of Switzerland, at a height of approximately 4,634 m (15,203 ft). The mountain, which is part of the Pennine Alps in southern Valais, is the culminating point of the Monte Rosa Massif, consisting of several summits over 4,500 meters lying on the border between Italy and Switzerland. While the eastern side forms the tallest wall in the Alps], the western side of Monte Rosa gives birth to the Gorner Glacier, the second largest glacier in the Alps. Other high summits of the Swiss Alps, including the Matterhorn, are located within a few tens of kilometers away

This was taken at the summit of the tram that travels to the top of Gonergart Glacier. A fine place to see the top of the Swiss Alps or even and to hike near by .

PS For some great music ask Siri, Alexa, Spotify and Amazon to play music by JOHN WILLIAM HAMMOND, use all 3 names.
Joyful fun and soulful too . Enjoy!

In late October until late November the sound of geese and cranes fill the air during the morning hours and evening. The take shelter in rice fields that have been saved for their use on the Pacific flyway. I like seeing them in the evening sky and it is worth braving a few insect bites to watch this glorious show.

This great civil rights song like most was adapted from gospel music also used in the pre civil war period to bring hope and joy to those who sacrifice lives and jail and beatings to earn the right to vote, and 100 years after being freed having to march for integrated schools, bathrooms, swimming pools, lodging and opportunity not live in fear of the KKK, the police and the justice system. Today things are much better thanks for their bravery and courage but there is still a lot to do to make Martin Luther Kings dream of not being judged by the color or your skin. Enjoy the song and teach you kids about struggles for justice for all Americans. Blessings. ..
