    Saturday a friend and I scrapped plans to do Sunset Crater and headed to Desert View at the Grand Canyon and hit the various overlooks and points as we worked our way up to The Village. Seemed like a great idea and the car was washed several times as we drove up SR89. Quite a bit of smoke in the GC and likely that was the cause of not that many visitors compared to other times I have been up there … still it was beautiful and if you looked up the canyon with the sun on your back it wasn’t too bad.

    I love the ravens and other winged creatures that soar the canyon rim. At Lipan Point there were numerous Ravens and this guy was sitting on the stone barrier at the edge of the rim; being the brilliant creature he was, he rebuffed Sue’s offer of a stick as food, spread his wings, lifted his feet and was soaring out over the abyss in that beautiful wave of orographic lift coming up the canyon walls. Closest I can get to this is about 8,000’ above it … shoot! Anyhow, it is a treat to watch other creatures soar effortlessly in and over the canyon and I can dream of it.

    Earlier Saturday morning I had a beautiful flight up over volcano land, around the peaks, poked into the inner basin at about 11,000’ and had a great flight. Jason recommended the Tinder Box Kitchen in Flagstaff as a place to eat that night … it was everything he said and more. Food excellent, ambiance excellent (not formal) and service excellent. Thank you Jason!

    Today was a different kind of day, and a lot of rest, reading and the usual chores around the house. One got two hunts in, and I think she prefers the hunt to the kill and is letting her prey get away at the last moment rather than completing the attack. Good on her, then she can engage the same critters over and over again just like I do with the camera.

    The week has begun, wow! Have a beautiful day, smile and share the beauty you find in life with your friends and families and those you pass on the street … a simple smile works wonders … and keep breathing … makes everything else possible.

    Cheers

    Sleep sweetly now that the gates of the crimson night are closed,
    and leave tomorrow’s struggle for tomorrow;
    The earth is peaceful, only the stars and still moon are abroad, and they wage no war.

    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→
