By Ted Grussing … there are some photographs that you take that just keep coming back to you and this is one of those. I did shoots of the Golden Retriever liters of Fran’s breeding stock for many years, the last being in 2008. I took this shot whilst siting in the pen with them and for nourishment they had been chewing on my toes. Little puppies can go like crazy for seemingly a very long time and then they crash and that is as total as their exuberant play.

An intense microburst rolled through the neighborhood this afternoon with strong winds, heavy rain and a very cool lightning strike … about three hours after the outside windows were professionally cleaned.

During the day I would go soaring out of Turf Soaring at Pleasant Valley Airport only a few miles from the park and in the evening we would go for…
Verde Valley AZ (July 14, 2015) – The Forest Service often witnesses an increase of abandoned campfires during the summer months when campfires are not restricted and would like to remind the public to fully extinguish their campfire before leaving their campsite.

By Ted Grussing … so far so good … keep waking in the morning … roll out looking forward to what the day will bring and although they seldom end up as planned they are good days and I find a smile spreading across my face if for no other reason than it is good to be alive and enjoy the solitude or the company of friends or as now listening to a YouTube video of Monsters and Men performing at Lowlands in 2012 … a very fun group both musically and visually.
