    … another beautiful winter day in Sedona, and I’ve been sifting through aerial shots that I have taken and finding many new ones that I like a lot … like the photo above taken over the Colorado Plateau and looking north. The photo was taken just 29 minutes before sunset and the light was filtered through a lot of the atmosphere before getting here … colors were softened and the scene was done in pastels. I was a few miles south of A1 Crater, a famous landmark located just left of center where shadow and light meet. A1 steak sauce was concocted in the cookhouse for the A1 ranch. The San Francisco Peaks are on the right and near the left side is Kendrick Peak … many other volcanic cones are visible.

    The photo below was taken late another day … it was overcast and I had given up on the sun breaking through the clouds and illuminating the peaks and the beautiful fall colors. I looked over my shoulder and there it was, a small hole in the cloud cover put a spotlight on A1 Crater and it cast a perfect shadow.

    That’s it for the week and the plan is to be back Monday morning … using the same poem of Max Ehrmann tonight as it has a beautiful message. Have fun, enjoy life and be kind.

    With joy,

    Ted

    If you have spoken something beautiful,
    Or touched the dead canvas to life,
    Or made the cold dead stone to speak—
    You who know the secret heart of beauty;
    If you have done one thing
    That has made gentler the churlish world,
    Though mankind pass you by,
    And feed and clothe you grudgingly—
    Though the world starve you,
    And God answer not your nightly prayers,
    And you grow old hungering still at heart,
    And lie down at last forgotten—
    If all this befall you who have created beauty,
    You shall still leave a bequest to the world
    Greater than institutions and rules and commerce;
    And by the immutable law of the human heart
    The God of the universe is your debtor,
    If you have made gentler the churlish world.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
