Posted on October 1, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

I love the simple, yet elegant vertical symmetry in the stained glass window detailing of this church.

Friends since high school, judi and I have fought the battles of body autonomy and reproductive rights throughout our lifetimes. Her words resonate within my hollowed-out-by-it-all sense of loss.

here.say.

And then Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.

And before anything else it was a visceral blow back to the time before our bodies were our own. To the times of relegated to, not slavery but owned just the same. To the Mrs. Doug Clark of it all, loving or not beside the point. To the not being spoken to directly of it all and with the permission of one’s father or husband of it all, to the “Of course you don’t want to do that, Dear!” of it all. To the anything for a son of it all, to the silent until spoken to of it all, to the barefoot and pregnant of it all; to the no mind of one’s own of it all.

To the not so long ago of it all.

~ Report from the Edge of a Continent ~ Brown Pelicans Return ~

Posted on September 19, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

A colony of about 100 Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) were gathered along the shoreline when Jello and I took our morning walk, September 14, 2020. What a joy to watch them flying above the waves, swimming in the splash and swash of surf and snacking upon a pod of fry.

With a 6’6” (2 meter) wingspan these magnificent creatures had my rapt attention.

Due to the fog and my adherence to staying at a distance, the photos are muted and a bit fuzzy. Still, the energy and communal affability of the colony is perceptible.

By September, breeding adults are molting out of their bright summer colors into a white crest that stretches from their crown down the nape of their long neck. Juveniles are grey brown with white breast feathers.

Fun fact: gulls sometimes perch on a pelican’s head and steal fish right out of their mouth!

These two pairs were at the forefront of the colony, leading me to think they likely are elders of the group.

“Poetry in motion.”

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 114: Negative Spaces ~

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

I love wide open spaces. In photography the absence of distractions makes the subject POP, sometimes creating a sense of calm and peace, and other times providing space for visual drama.
