Returned from three days at Charleston, SC and I can tell you for a fact that the "Recession" does not exist down there. OK, it's a destination town where there is allot of business travel and the annual SEWE (South Eastern Waterfowl Festival) was held Friday through Sunday. But the streets were full, gift shops and galleries busy, and we still had to make reservations for dinner. I saw a number of my friends and photography colleagues at the waterfowl show and they seemed to be selling OK, but certainly not breaking any records. You can see from the photo that the horse and buggy business was very good as well. I shot about four hundred images and there will be more news coming regarding the photography.
I was asked what the "Year of the Owl Pellet" blog title was all about. Instead of just referring you back to day one where it is defined, I will bring you up to date. The first picture I took this year was of an owl pellet. BUT, metaphorically it is much more than that.
An owl pellet is what remains after an owl has dined, on say a mouse. The owl then regurgitates the bones, hide, and other indigestible parts. Hence the pellet.
Metaphorically, Washington makes me feel like an owl pellet and that is why I call it the "Year of". Perhaps, you do as well. Those people take all the digestable parts and leave us with virtually nothing. Oh, yeah you can say they spend our money for what is needed to maintain our society. Not! But we both would be lying to ourselves. Congress just passed the biggest socialist spending, that's right "Spending not stimulus" bill in the history of the world, planet, solar system. Hey, it's our money they're spending or have we forgotten? On top of that insult, the empty suits have the audacity to fly to Denver to sign it. They go there to promote not only "The bill" but also the global warming issue by signing it in front of a solar panel company. Do you think these geniuses care that the fuel alone to fly the Air Force One out there, is more than one citizen uses in 30 years. Talk about invironmental impact. Hello, are there any live brain cells still left out there?
