Always it seems there can be improvements made and I found some that have stuck in my mind for years and wondering if I could tweak them some to make them better.

I tend not to dwell or live in the past, but it was the sum of living those moments,…

By Ted Grussing… a day of quiet celebration today and now a picture of quietude looking to NE from the end of the Sedona Airport … we are still here … the greatest nation and the greatest people ever to grace the face of planet Earth. A country of about 3,000,000 people when the concept of a free people and nation surfaced and the movement began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence … in signing that document each of the signatories knew that if they failed, they were signing their death warrants. They and the people of the…

By Sherry Twamley, Verde Village Resident (July 4, 2018)The City of Sedona’s budget includes about $2.5 million annually that is allocated to the Sedona Chamber of Commerce — an “outside agency”. Tens of thousands more dollars are paid out in other contracts to non-city organizations which provide a host of services. Most of these sums, however, appears to be doled out through political lobbying and patronage to certain favored organizations without competitive grants (awarded after judging by a panel of unbiased city staff members and after letting the public weigh in at a public hearing).
By Ted Grussing… Canyon, that is … located about sixteen miles from Tuba City, Coal Mine canyon is one of the beautiful canyons in northern Arizona and it much more vast when viewed from the air as opposed to from the ground. It is perhaps a maximum of 500 to 700 feet deep at the deepest, but the beautiful formations and colors impart incredible beauty to it. There are no signs that mark it, no advertising is done on it, yet its popularity continues to grow. A good website to learn more about and how to get to this largely…
By Ted Grussing… after I shot the photo of the single bud on the Argentinian Giant Cactus, it bloomed in glorious fashion the very next day and I got some photos of it. The day after that, it closed up and a day or two later it detached from our diminutive A. Giant Cactus and lay on the ground until the winds swept it away. A single day of beauty, giving it all and then gone … we are fortunate, we get more than one day to convey our inner beauty … although some never do, the opportunity is ever present,…
