Anyhow, I loved the shot, so here it is…

By Stanley T. Crooke MD, PhD., Sedona Resident(June 26, 2018) Some weeks ago, I, my wife and two neighbors placed no parking signs and rocks on the west side of Dry Creek Road from Garnet Hill Dr. to FR 152. Recently, the rocks and flags were removed by the city. So why would four law abiding, tax-paying residents expend the effort to try to establish a “no parking” zone on a public street?As residents of the Estates at North Slopes and avid hikers, we are intimately familiar with the area on both sides of Dry Creek Road and frequently travel…

By Ted GrussingFriday, my new Nikon D850 arrived along with the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens and a few other goodies. This is my first venture into Nikon gear in over fifteen years, but the reviews on this combo are just to good to not give it a shot … actually about a thousand shots since Friday. The manuals proved useless in getting started, but a series of YouTube videos walked me through the setup of the body and a lot of tweaking after the original setup. Trip up to Eric’s and shot some birds and then three separate trips to…
