    … 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.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
