    … what can be more simple than a leaf of a tree … there are so many of them!

    Whilst out with One this afternoon, I saw one of these “simple” things blowing in the grass and backlit by the sun, so, I took some time shooting it along with the shadows of equally simple blades of grass … simple, until you actually take the time to look closely at them and then the miracles of life begin to appear in amazing structural patterns. Take the time to find beauty in all that is part of life and you will discover that nothing is really all that simple. So what is the function of this seemingly simple, but very complex part of a tree? Best answer I can find is: “The function of leaves is to help the plant produce food by converting the energy in sunlight into chemical energy that the plant can eat. The structures within the leaf convert the energy and make it possible for the plant to get food.” Pretty amazing utilization of solar energy and we didn’t develop the technology, and likely never will, but maybe we can replicate it for functions that benefit us. Life is amazing and a daily wonder!

    I have managed to get very far behind in responding to emails again, so please be patient, I will catch up again … I think.

    Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and today was a special day to celebrate and thank all those who have served our country in the various branches of the military … my thanks to all who have served and those currently in the service of our great nation. Without you, we would have no freedom!

    Into the new week, seek beauty and you will find it, seek wonderment and you will live it, seek peace and you will experience it … choices are everything.

    Cheers

    Ted

    … the moon is passing in and out of the clouds, making
    a shadow-checkered day of the night, and breaking the sky with shafts of gold.

    All silent, the universe is doing its work — beautiful, mysterious, religious.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
