Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: Fantastical

By Ted Grussing

… and that is exactly what the sunset and moon rise was today … the blue light filtered out by the extended trip through the atmosphere when the sun is setting and the rocks and snow as they take on a beautiful reddish hue.

The Sedona Mittens are featured in this photograph and the moon is rising just above and to the right of them. The view is to the ENE. Below the rim on the left side of the mittens is Munds Canyon going up to Munds Park … it is only about five minutes by air … about 40 minutes by car. On the very left side, about a third of the way up from the bottom is where Oak Creek Canyon turns left and heads north towards Flagstaff; on the right of the mittens is Schnebly Hill road which is pretty well disappeared by the snow on the surface. and on the very right a bunch of hoodoos and they are part of the very northern end of Munds Mountain which rises above them.

I love this place … I love life … I am thankful for every moment I am gifted breath and the ability to enjoy who and where I am. Smile because you have the same gifts regardless of who or where you are.

Back Monday morning … have a wonderful TGIF and weekend … you are here!

Cheers,

Ted

toast

Noonday

Henry and I have ordered

our lunch and are waiting.

Here, in this beautiful dining

room, we both take our meals,

often at the same table.

Henry is rich, self made.

He talks well of financial

matters, rarely of anything else.

His ideal, to found a fortune.

The Negro waiter brings our lunch.

Henry flies into a rage. “I ordered

a piece of well done toast!

Are you hard hearing! What do

you mean bringing me this?”

… etc. his face flushed.

This afternoon I stood beside

Henry’s grave. Eleven

years have gone down the river of time.

I could not help remembering the

day Henry lost his temper.

A piece of toast—what a

very little thing in the great

mystery and tragedy of life!
