January 29, 2015 There was a bit of a haze in the air the day that I took this photo somewhere on the west coast of the USA during one of our many "driving" vacations. I liked the shot even thought it's not technically great. I did love the solitary sailboat. Taken in 2008. "I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full." ~ Arthur Ashe Have a "sails full" sort of day today my friends. Linda http://lgood.smugmug.com
October 23, 2014 I have to tell you, the series of shots that I took at Horseshoe Bend made me very nervous. I DO NOT like heights, and in order to get the whole bend (and I didn't accomplish that task very well) you have to get really, really close to the edge of the sheer cliffs overlooking the natural horseshoe of the Colorado River. I remember the first shot on Smugmug that I ever saw of this iconic place was of Judy Horton (fotoeffects) laying on her belly at the edge of the cliff. I salute you Judy for your bravery - I couldn't do it. I thought about you, and tried to lay down, but those butterflies in my tummy just wouldn't let me do it. Thank goodness that Bill was there to set up my tripod for this 5 HDR shot and to keep his steady hand on my back. "I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light." ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh Have a lovely day today my friends.

October 22, 2014 This photo was taken behind the Glen Canyon Dam. These monster structures just amaze me. I have no understanding of the engineering and the mechanics of building one, but I'm really glad that other people do have that knowledge and expertise. "Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age." ~ Bertrand Russell Have a super day today my friends!
