Ever since the result of Election 2024 was announced on November 6, the whole country has been thrown into a hurricane. People are either exhilarated to high heaven, or diven down to a bottomless black hole. In the between space, very few people can remain long. Paul is one of the few, with his egret ballerina winning this week's Photo Contest in Good Times. The ballerina, along with his series of bird photography, has reflected his equilibrium of mind and soul, "I have done my civic duty to cast my vote, and now I am living my own life."
Paul's soaring ballerina captures the recent anchovy rush in the Monterey Bay, which has been attracting numerous cormorants, egrets, herons, pelicans, seagulls, as well as families of sea lions, and individual harbor seals and sea otters. The feeding frenzy has delighted aquatic fowl and marine mammals alike, but has also kept city and marine workers busy, trying to be the cleaning agent between nature and living beings on the bay.
Congratulations, Paul! Your new work has been well received in FB.
