… a return to the ponds off of Beaverhead Flat Rd for photos of those beautiful blue creatures … incoming is a Western Bluebird and already perched on the rock in the pond is a Mountain Bluebird … the Mountain Bluebird seems to be telling the incoming that the rock is already occupied … and he doesn’t seem to care.
Below is a shot on another February day as I was flying ridge lift at the San Francisco Peaks and was leaving the Snow Bowl area … directly ahead is the ridgeline running up to Humphreys Peak the highest point in Arizona and in this photograph. I was at 11,934 feet, 703 feet below the peak I had dropped down to get some close pictures of the ski runs … top of the lift is at 11,500″. On the left portion of the photograph, you are looking at a part of the northwest section of the Painted Desert and there are several smaller volcanic cones in that space … over 600 of them on the SF Volcanic Field.
Into another week which has yet to be lived … the really cool thing is that we get to write the narrative as we live it … our choice always as to whether it is good or not … choose joy!
Smiles,
Ted
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep
peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery
and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
