By Ted Grussing For whatever reason, a dam was built near Page, Arizona and they named it the Glen Canyon Dam … it took years, but finally in 1966 it opened and formerly beautiful canyons were buried in water … there are benefits as well and either version is/was a work of beauty. Others can move the debate and I’ll just enjoy the beauty, capture it and share it. The mountain in the background upper right is Navajo Mountain and it is a little over ten thousand feet above sea level. Some haze from burns in the background, but otherwise…

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.

The rain blown by…
