A smiling Carl Sagan in a dark suit and gold tie sits with hands in his pockets against a starry cosmic backdrop of Earth, Venus, Saturn, other planets, nebulae, and colorful space dust. The image is paired with his quote: “The way to find out about our place in the universe is by examining the universe and by examining ourselves - without preconceptions, with as unbiased a mind as we can muster.”

A humbling reminder from Carl Sagan: Even if you read 1 book a week for your entire life, you'd only scratch the surface of human knowledge.

Heading South for the winter! Every year, at this time, waterfowl (Blue Heron, Green Heron, Egrets, Sandpipers, Ducks) gather at the Eden Prairie Lake, Minnesota, to get fuel for the trip south. I enjoyed watching them feed and fish. #Wildlife #Birds #Nature

Beautiful bird! I have been going around ponds and lakes all summer trying to spot a green heron, without luck. All of a sudden, and on one day, I see three of them on the shore of a lake. Here are two of them, the one on the right was trying to finish swallowing a fish. #wldlife #birds #nature

"Thomas Jefferson taught that a democracy was impractical unless the people were educated. No matter how stringent the protections of the people might be in constitutions or common law, there would always be a temptation, Jefferson thought, for the powerful, the wealthy, and the unscrupulous to undermine the ideal of government run by and for ordinary citizens.

The antidote is vigorous support for the expression of unpopular views, widespread literacy, substantive debate, a common familiarity with critical thinking, and skepticism of pronouncements of those in authority—which are all also central to the scientific method."

I was walking (also birding) in a nearby park today, and saw a Great Blue Heron wading right next to me in a shallow creek. Never seen one there before and never thought she could catch such a big fish in that creek. Well, she had a good breakfast! #Nature, #Bird, #photography
