As I plod along thinking with my little pea brain about all the turmoil in the world today, I long for the good old days of the Triassic. At least we didn't have Trump. All artwork and photographs are my own, though you are welcome to share.

Native to most of North America, the wild rose is not as showy as the domestic one, but certainly has a sweet fragrance. #wildflowers #macro #photography

In a remote canyon in northern Arizona, I saw this structure high on a canyon wall. With some difficulty, I got close enough for this pic, but did not enter it. It was probably used as a granary. Notice the small rocks used for chinking. #IndianRuins #granaries #Arizona #photography

Snow in the Rincons. I took this shot in February of 2024. There was just a dusting of snow up there this year, with record temps already in triple digits for Arizona and no rain in the forecast. Yikes! #RinconMountains #landscapes #clouds #snow #Arizona #photography
