    … Christmas the day after today … 2015 the New Year a week later … mountains peeking through the clouds … a ski area … Mars Hill with Lowell Observatory a portal to the heavens… eternity something we are in the midst of where there are no “just around the corners”. What an adventure and what a life with so much to see just around the corner … the bend.

    I took this shot last Friday on a flight to one of my favorite places to shoot; a fresh snow had fallen and the peaks were wreathed in clouds, part of the volcanic field opened through the clouds to the east. I used a 24mm focal length on this shot which gives me a much wider view of the landscape and as a result makes things look much farther away than they are … nice big trees on the mountain side :+) The near peak which takes up about forty percent of the image is Agassiz Peak which at 12,360’ is the second highest peak in Arizona and only 273’ lower than Humphreys Peak. Around the corner on the left is Snow Bowl which had a lot of skiers on the slopes when I was cruising the contours of the peaks taking photos.  Beyond Agassiz Peak, the near peak is Freemont Peak and the far peak is Doyle both in the 11,400-900’+ range.  Tops of the clouds were a little below 11,000’ … it was just one of those truly fun days to play in the sky and among the peaks.  Doyle was named Shultz through the 1930’s and the west ridge of Fremont was Doyle … and there is a lot of confusion on naming … a discussion can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doyle_Peak

    Tomorrow some house painting … didn’t get around to it today and just got home from Phoenix a while ago. Fun time with friends and some beautiful jewelry projects completed which will make for smiles on the 25th :+)

    As humans we need timelines as we are finite and like to mark certain special days which repeat each time the earth completes a revolution around our star the sun … I like the thought of eternity, the continuum where we simply are … no rush to buy Christmas presents or need to because the gift is given for all of time … it simply is.

    Whatever your faith or your belief always celebrate it in love and with a peaceful heart. Embrace the faith journey and love those who journey life’s path … those who have gone before … those on the journey and those yet to embark on it. While circumstances for each of us differ, we all make our own choices on how to make the journey and how we perceive it. Choose the path that should be traveled.

    Smile and share your joy

    I thought that time went sweet and soft and slow,
    And left no marks save those of gentleness
    That bound you to my life with strong caress;
    And you saw naught but all my soul’s deep truth,
    No fading bloom, nor form the years bent low,
    But ever still the beauty of my youth.
    — Max Ehrmann

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
