    … 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.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
