Own Yourself

2008.07.13

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

As we went on a Sunday Drive I spotted this Sage Hen and she was all alone. I wondered what she was doing alone.

Wonderful capture.

bchat Oh, your beautiful shot makes me want to speak in hushed tones, for fear of "spooking" him. Shhhh......

A wonderful capture. It seem she's more in harmony with nature than us!

photopoet Great capture—he looks so aloof, perhaps a loner.

paintbox You don't do a lot of creatures. I really like this shot.

MHJphotos Great catch! Sage hens, Ruff grouse, Blue Grouse, all beautiful birds. I usually don't see them until they take off with their wings flapping like a helicopter and my heart beating about 10,000 bpm!

coralinad It is as if you planted a stuffed one in the grass - couldn't be more perfect. Beautiful!
