    … going through photos for the book today I came on a shot of the SF Peaks I took last year which is one of my all time favorite shots of them. I copied it into the book folder and tonight I started imagining the peaks as glowing brilliantly against a dark sky and set out to spend sometime creating what I envisaged … and this is the result and I like it. I love mountain flying and sometimes wish we had more high peaks in the range like when I used to fly the Rockies in Colorado, the mountains in Utah, the Sierra and the Southern California mountains, but having the San Francisco Peaks standing alone adds a lot of drama as they rise about a mile from the surrounding area and crate this unique beauty without being just a few peaks amongst dozens of other mountains. Plus I have flown the ridge lift on the western slopes and wave off of the eastern side on wave days plus lots of great thermals with average vertical velocities in excess of 1500’ per minute that go to cloud base.

    More work on the book and stones tomorrow … air conditioned indoor comfort, vs, outside heat … pretty easy choice. I do hope to get back to Watson Lake later this week and spend more time on the water  hunting my favorite waterfowl and shorebirds. Just something special about being on the water … and in the air … something very special about just being alive too and taking the time to live and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us and the people who are important to us … and those who would be if only we knew them.

    I have developed a new delivery system for caffeine into my body … a single scoop of vanilla ice cream in a cup and three shots of fresh espresso over the top. Yum and definitely a breakfast food item.

    Have a beautiful day … take a little time to look in the mirror and smile at yourself … replicate that look as you go through the day and interact with others and always think and dream of what may be.

    Cheers

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
