\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that everyone’s life gets crazy at times.<\/p>\n

We run into bumps, hit walls, get thrown curve balls, stuff hits a fan, or rolls down hill.<\/p>\n

I’ve been there, done that, and would appreciate it tremendously if that fabled silver lining in the clouds showed itself a bit more.<\/p>\n

Over a period of several months I have battled idiots trying to bring down my server (under control now) and put up with a forced Windows update that messed with my old computer which caused me to want to yank out my hair.<\/p>\n

And that says a lot because those close to me know I spent nearly two years nearly lockless because of an illness.<\/p>\n

But… things seem to be leveling out now much like this female Northern Harrier in flight that I photographed along the causeway to Antelope Island State Park in northern Utah in mid January.<\/p>\n

It is just a simple image, one subject against a pale blue sky. Given life’s complexities sometimes simple is just what I need.<\/p>\n

And maybe now I will get caught up with culling and more importantly answering emails where my replies are long overdue.<\/p>\n

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
