    … time for another critter portrait and this time a beautiful shot of one of my neighbors. Name unknown, release not asked for, but what the heck we’ll publish her photo anyhow and take a chance that we shall not be sued. A solitary creature, she, but beautiful and can you believe it, she is wearing a fur coat! Geez, the nerve of some!

    Unfortunately tens of thousands of these gorgeous predators are trapped and killed for their fur every year, including thousands in Arizona. A pelt from a cat of this quality will bring around $750.00. I’m all in for hunting, but to kill an animal of this beauty just for its pelt does not sit well with me … perhaps those who hunt and kill these cats need to eat the meat too!

    I had a nice flight this afternoon and took three pictures, none of which was worth keeping; the air was filled with smoke and haze again … not heavy, but if you looked at Mingus mountain from the Sedona Airport all you could see was the silhouette through a white haze and that does not make for beautiful aerial photographs. The White Fire in Sycamore Canyon is still smoldering, but not much more than a very small village with wood burning fireplaces. The smoke drains down through the canyon into the Clarkdale area, but should be out soon.

    Espresso and breakfast at Wildflower Bakery in the morning and down to Lake Pleasant in the afternoon … fun day!

    Have a terrific day, smile and keep breathing … definitely with a mask though.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    And in this journey over a thousand hills and valleys called life, he is wisest who
    is patient where the way is hard, has faith when he does not understand, and carries
    into the dark places the light of a cheerful heart.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
