    Healing Paws

    … all of that beauty for the sole purpose of attracting birds,bees and other critters to come and check out what each bloom is offering … food in return for pollination of the plant and each life form is assured that life for itself and future generations will continue … and we get to take delight in the annual show! The bloom above is an Icelandic Poppy that I shot a number of years ago and still today its beauty carries forward.

    Below is a rather silly Greenhead Mallard that was bathing himself with abrupt dunks into the water and immediate recoveries … in doing so he gave himself what looks like a crystalline necklace of water as well as a crystalline backstop of the same … momentary beauty that carries forward.

    For those of you who are into photo editing, Topaz Labs has recently come out with a new product called Photo AI and it does a remarkable job either as a stand alone or plug-in for Photoshop and in addition to the normal editing tools it replaces Gigapixel as you can up-sample photos substantially … check it out.

    Adobe has also released a number of new and or improved AI neural filters in Photoshop 2023 that do an amazing job on photo restoration, colorization and more. Below the mallard photo is an old black and white family photo depicting my dad, brothers and me after a duck hunt at Heron Lake in western Minnesota in the early 1950’s. That’s me on the right … not perfect, but taking a very old photo and coming up with this is a surprise …not perfect, but I am just beginning to learn how to use these filters … much more to learn. For hunters, my dad and brothers hunted with L.C. Smith side by side double barrel 12 ga shotguns and I used an Ithaca 37R 12 ga pump with a 30″ barrel.

    Into another beautiful day and week … breathing, smiling and all the good stuff and wishing the same for you.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    To you who walk in shadows dark
    And keenly hark
    For kindly words if but to live,
    Myself I give,
    My life and all my heart and hand
    Here where I stand.
    ‘Tis thus that both our lives will grow
    I know.

    excerpt from I Know by Max Ehrmann

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
