    Healing Paws

    By Ted Grussing

    … the pattern this week has been unmistakable; work in the morning, head down to the ponds and thence to the airport for a nice flight just for the sheer joy of getting off the ground and with the cloud layers not much reason to take any aerial shots. I have been getting shots of flight though and this drake Canvasback is one of them … his last step before going airborne along with a beautiful water spray and the total reflection in the water.

    Shot this with the 1D-X and the new 100/400mm and am back to the basics … I would not have gotten this shot with the 5Ds R. Shooting ducks with a camera is a little bit like shooting them with a rifle … I use a spot focus only as when you expand out to five or more points it is possible (and does happen) where it will grab a focus on a bush or something else near the duck. Takes practice, but you will get consistently better shots just using a single focus point … but you do have to have it on the bird.

    A nice dinner at the Hilton after flying and then home and spent a couple hours watching Brian Greene’s “Fabric of the Cosmos”. I have read the book and I’m enjoying the visual presentation and still having issues with the concepts of Quantum Mechanics, but am getting there.

    Have a beautiful day today … share a smile and a few good words with others … we’re still stuck here on this little planet. Think I will do it all again tomorrow and as Max said … “quietly go my way”

    Cheers

    Ted

    My way

    All around is haste, confusion, noise.
    For power and wealth men stretch the day
    From dawn till dusk. But quietly
    I go my way.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    For glitter, show, to taunt the crowd,
    Desire-tossed in wild dismay,
    Men sell their souls. But quietly
    I go my way.

    The green of all the fields is mine,
    The stars, the night, the wind at play,
    A peaceful heart, while quietly
    I go my way.

    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.
