    … I needed a big smile today as it started with more overcast skies and gloom … some twitches of sun here and there as the day progressed and on the drive into town the sight of spectacular light on snow covered rocks … the ceiling was quite low, but nevertheless it would have been a great day to shoot the rocks from just above them. I was flipping through some catalogs of flowers this evening and found this wonderful sun flower variant bursting with a happy color and shadows. The actual bloom is from the gardens of Filoli in Woodside California if you have not visited there, you should put it on your must see list.

    I neglect some of the lesser aerial shots I have taken over the years … those that do not have spectacular red rocks or mountain and volcanic images, but there are many shots that depict earth ever transforming and remaking itself. The canyon below is a small back canyon off the NW end of Sycamore Canyon. I took the shot in January of 2020 and snow melt was draining into dry creek beds and flowing downward through larger canyons and eventually the water would end up in the Verde River west of Cottonwood. I love the two ribbon waterfalls at the upper end of the canyon … canyon formation continues on earths timetable and perhaps in another million or so of our years there will be an amazing deep and wide canyon … it has happened before.

    A fine day in every respect and a bright globe of sunshine from the flower to make all right!

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing … best exercise ever 🙂 Back Monday morning.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    So each one to his wish, and as for me,
    I sit to-night and wait
    In slumb’rous moonlight late,
    To feel the freedom of the world in me
    Like waves of a shoreless sea.

    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→
