A new flag for New Zealand?

New Zealand is considering changing it's flag. This is the current flag.

The Union Jack in the corner represents NZ's bond with Great Britain. Since 1973, some people have been pushing to change the flag and now, the people of NZ will be voting.

The five choices you see below have been selected from hundreds of designs. Voting by mail is going on now to select one design from among these five. Early next year, the voters will then be asked if they prefer the new flag or the old one, and a choice will be made.

These are the finalists. -djf

If I were able to vote I'd leave it as it is...

I rather like the 1st one--black, blue and white. Let us know what the country decides. McKenzie

My deer blind, a place outside of time and space.

This is a picture of my deer hunting blind. I built in in 1975 and used it until about 2010. I'm publishing this picture and text on November 15 of 2022, the opening day of Michigan's rifle deer hunting season, to remember all the years I spent sitting there and occasionally harvesting a deer. I think that the meat I provided for my family was only a small portion of the benefit I received from hunting in this manner. Of greater value to me was the time I spent alone, watching the forest and its many components interact. I had time to unwind from the stresses of my work, to appreciate our world, and even sometimes to pray. That blind was a refuge to me. It was cozy, and comfortable and I spent much more time filming the activities of not only deer, but bears, racoons, turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and once, even a snowy owl, than I did harvesting deer. May I suggest to all of you that you try to find some time and a place, where you can be alone, and where you can ponder and appreciate your life and your place in the world. It does a body good. -djf
