Just poking my head back in. 13 months since I was last here. And it's the only social media I have. Just checking in. Because regardless of not using it lately, I still recommend it to others. 🙄 Got lots of new pictures. I'll post some. Next time I visit. July 2027?

Entrance to Upper Antelope Canyon. A few years later, I was to "discover" the less advertised Lower Antelope Canyon which I prefer, if for no other reason than it avoids the bone crushing jeep ride to get there. #photography #landscape #canyon #Arizona

Crawford Arch on Bridge Mountain, Zion NP, March 2006 The arch looks small in the image, but it is 427 ft (130 meters) long. It is about 1000 ft or 300 meters above the floor of the canyon. Handheld with 300mm lens #photography #landscape #RockyTuesday #analogue #Zion #redrock #bluesky

Remember Pearl Harbor? Still known as the "Day of Infamy" by many Americans. What is the difference from yesterday's unprovoked American attack in Iran? Just another "Day of Infamy."

I would have thought it nearly impossible to turn the fundamentalist misogynistic Iranian regime into the "Good Guys", but Netanyahu and Trump accomplished it with ease.
