I have gathered a posy of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own.

The raw materials for breakthrough technologies will come in unexpected forms -- the people, the ideas, and the objects will come dressed in other uses, other meanings, and other relationships. Untangling these existing resources from their current context and putting them together in new ways requires thinking by analogy. It means constantly asking how things are the same. It's easy to point out how things are different; we do it every day in order to decide where to focus our attention and energy. Who we talk to and who we do not, which articles we read and which we ignore -- these are difference-driven choices. And difference-driven choices are, by nature, defensive.

Not many leaves on the trees yet, so marshes look less lush, but it's still a marsh!
If you can spare a few minutes for our environment, please leave a comment against the Removal of the National Environmental Policy Act. This is the "Magna Carta" of environmental laws in the US, and removing will bring total destruction. Once removed, it will be easy to decimate even our National Parks. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/25/2025-03014/removal-of-national-environmental-policy-act-implementing-regulations Comments close next week.
At first I thought he was a descendant of a cross with a scarlet ibis, because he was quite pink compared to his mate. Now I think maybe he was hitting the shrimp too hard. #ibis #whiteibis #everglades #swamp #pond #birdphotography #waterbird #naturephotography
The life of the creative man is lead, directed, and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.

In the African-American folk traditions of the American South, a "conjure man" or "conjure woman" was a professional sorcerer. They would live outside the community, often in the swamp. Though feared, conjure folk would be consulted for various magical services.

#MarshMadness day 14
Well...ok we are back to a swamp not a marsh...sorry folks.
As an apology, have an alligator.
Alright, all you #wetland lovers - I'm digging all the #MarshMadness photos you're sharing, but I hope you're also preparing for #Swamptember and #Bogtober this fall and #Fenuary early next year!
Let's make this happen.
There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.

Little rat runs to little water
Three dimensional scene for today based on rat. Once again good and kind animals. Your friends! Best friends! So, it is summer. And, just after the little rain. Early morning. Little rat is living near the river. And she runs fast, while it just ends a fog. And runs fast to the river

A proper marsh! yeah some dead trees in the back but the foreground area is all proper marsh! Technically, marshes are wetlands dominated by grasses and similar herbaceous plants, whereas swamps are wetlands dominated by woody plants (trees). In case you wondered the difference...but they are both types of wetlands so I say join in the hashtag fun of Marsh Madness if you have anything somewhat fitting!

Bald Cyprus!
Okay so technically these are in swamps not marshes, but I'm doing my best here :P
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it!
