Chiracahua National Monument, AZ


 Chiracahua  is a most interesting landscape, the hoodoo central of Arizona. It lies in the southeastern part of the state,  not so arid as the remainder, but a grassy vast expanses of flatland, and distant rocky outcrops, hills, and mountains used by the Apache for refuge from the elements, from enemies, and  an elevated place to pray.

The Native American Apache People were forced to live in this torturous maze to survive the loss of the more productive lands by the aggression of waring neighbors, early white settlers,  and  the U.S. Government, who eventually took their land and destroyed their culture.

Golden eagles are common place here where they sometimes perch a top the electric poles. Sunsets are Golden across a Big country. The hustle of a crowded society does not exist here, only peace, the sound of a gentle wind, and silence.

the sweetest person I ever knew

Adventurers travel treacherous extremities, politicians and men of faith assemble people of all walks and colors to one basic belief, but they're not as special as Reid, and I could never love them as much.

Genesis 1

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. NIV Sunrise Cameron Jetty Pier, Cameron, Louisiana

Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius

I believe in a spirit far greater than my simple mind could imagine. But  having walked the streets of Pompeii, I'm not sure that my personal problems and wishes consume a responsible God's immense concern.  Naples Italy

Newspaper Rock State Historic Park, Utah


Man is restless, like the ocean current, like the migrating geese across an ever changing sky.
His road is winding into a new place, a new time, a new chance with hopeful anticipation of a new vista, an enlightened inspiration,
another contrast in texture and form.
A spirit traveler in time and space, author of the book of life.

That's what the rock says.

Yellowstone National Park

The Yellowstone River is one of the better trout streams in the lower 48. The average size is on the small side, but you can catch them all day. Problem is, it's hard to stop looking at the scenery. Lower Falls of The Yellowstone River
