Lost views… July 13, 2025 Post #1071

Today’s news was a fire at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon… which destroyed the lodge there (built in the 1930’s). It struck me that what I saw when I was there is gone and will never be the same. Even places that are set aside to visit and take in the natural wonders can vanish in a moments notice. The rest of 2025 the North Rim of the Grand Canyon will be closed… I can at least go through my pictures and memories. Just a reminder that we should take in the wonder’s of the world and just celebrate what is for just being part of this place we call earth.

Old habits

Over five decades I have written to Presidents. I felt it was important to express my view and believed it was worth as much as money, input to a poll… and it did not matter if the person I voted for won or lost. Whoever held the office was safeguarding the entire nation and not just those who voted for or against. Perhaps it is silly to think such things matter but old habits have a way of sticking withyou.

Snow drops peace on every surface….

Snow drifts and falls and shifts and blows… and brings with it a cool comfort and soft places to fall on hard days.  Snow falls and each flak drops a piece of peace if you wait… and watch it cover the worst looking spot and transforms it to a clean surface fresh and smooth!

Flutter thoughts… on the keys of a Monarch 3 (1917)

Not in the best shape… but I pressed the keys to see if I could get this one off the ground and into the air and for the most part it did what Butterfly’s do… float and bounce from here to there at its own pace and way.
