Richard with Lantern It's Dick's birthday today; he'd have been 70 years old. But he passed away about a decade ago. This photo was taken by our father, Roger Dinda, and was scanned from an Ektachrome slide dated June of 1960.
Red Tailed Hawk At the W K Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, near Gull Lake; July of 2014. The bird was injured and unable to fly; thus the cage.

Dead at age 23 in February 1862 While conventionally a lifetime is seen to begin and end with the headstone dates, in actual practice there are many who know the person across a much wider span. If the oldest person to hold the newborn was 80, then the baby has physical connection to a person who lived decades before the baby's own day of birth. Likewise of a newborn that the person touches when in old age: stories and photos of that connection will be given to the little one so that the old person who eventually dies will persist in those stories and photos. In total, then, a long-lived person's human connections reach back into time before birth and extend a generation or more after death, as well. Thus a life is bigger than the days spent breathing; rather, it is something like 200 years. This photo shows one Ezra Brown, aged 23, whose time on Earth was much shorter, though. Judging from the other ages of those buried in the surrounding land, death came in many ways and at many ages. A long life was not an expectation or entitlement necessarily. Reflecting on names, headstone styles, and longevity offers a point of contrast and comparison to one's own days. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.
