Photo portrait of Los Angeles @ 4am

Los Angeles at times can be a beautiful city. Just depends on the wind and rain to clear out all the smog. This night was crisp and clear, the dog and I...she kept pulling at me to keep going, so I credit her for helping with the interesting effect. I like the feel of Los Angeles in this way.

The Mountain and the Squirrel

The mountain and the squirrel

Had a quarrel,

And the former called the latter

"Little prig."

Bun replied,

"You are doubtless very big;

But all sorts of things and weather

Must be taken in together

To make up a year

And a sphere.

And I think it no disgrace

To occupy my place.

If I'm not so large as you,

You are not so small as I,

And not half so spry:

I'll not deny you make

A very pretty squirrel track.

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;

If I cannot carry forests on my back,

Neither can you crack a nut.



Ralph Waldo Emerson
