"Penser, c'est penser la difference"

large swarm of honey bees landed about 40 yards from the truck...much to my alarm

first i saw many things flying by...thought it was the reurn of the moths...but too much buzzing

this very small red flower was only seen because i was laying in the sand looking at another flower

this is the most abundant flower (besides the creosote bush) and there are only a few of these

this lizard was enjoying the sun on a nice stump in the desert...did not look up the species in the book yet

the foxes visited again this morning before dawn and did a lot of barking only a few yards from my head as i lay asleep in the beggars tomb...they visited about 5 days ago but in the evening after i had gone to sleep...i arose and put clean water in the water bowl so they would have some water to drink...the raven flew near-by and said hello yesterday...i was alarmed that the bees made a landing only 40 yards from where i sleep with thousands of acres of open desert all around...i never harm the bees anywhere and i usually have to rescue some from the water bowl...they are not good swimmers...

i have limited my listening to the news as so much of it is about violence against non-combatants...i sometimes wonder how i should consider the fact that i eat well every day and some folks will starve to death even as i am full...i wonder how to view the fact that my life has no wars taking place all around me but so many are subjected to terrors of war daily....i listen to the "Philosophize This" lectures and last night i listened to one entitled "Optimism"...it was good...also there is one about Hannah Arendt called "The banality of evil"...it was good...i like to listen to these lectures as i sit in the front seat of the truck with the lights off and the moon shining on the desert...i have been watching  a lot of youtube stuff...my favorites are "Detectorists" and "Hamish MacBeth" both british...one of my favorite youtubers is called "Little Chinese Everywhere" by a chinese woman who travels around asia...mostly china...and films the people and the villages and how they live and what they eat...my entire view of china has changed...the woman is an expert with a drone and drives around on a 125 suzuki scooter...wonderful you-tube site and very informative...i also read in several books every day...one of the better things i have read recently is a biography about Sigmund Freud...also i am nearing the end of boswells life of johnson...and a have a large dictionary of american women...Antoinette Perry (1888-1946) was an actor and a director and the "Tony" award is named after her...who knew!?
