Back in 1973 I earned my Eagle Rank in the Boy Scouts! Here I am at the Eagle Recognition by the State Governor, Tom Judge, in 1974. I am the handsome dude behind his left shoulder.
Well, 49 years later (whenever the 18th of March, 2023 is!) Toots got to go to the same Eagle Recognition!
Governor Greg Gianforte is doing the honors this time.
Toots, Zain (in the boys troop!) and Governor Greg.

This is a recent sunset, one of the few that have had some color in them! Looking NW from the end of our trailer.
We also took our first (and only?) trip to Prescott netted us a lunch at Panera! They had these, ummm, interesting looking? brownies. The truck I understand. But what the heck is on the other brownie?

I headed over to the showers one night recently…here is the pool!
Looking back at our trailer.
The next day: I FINALLY hit the hot tub!
Just floatin’ around!

The Hummingbird has produced offspring! Here is one of them.
A bit closer (same photo).
And I got some equipment I have been meaning to for a long time. That Kingfisher video I took of him beating the fish on the branch pushed me over the edge! And in the few times since I got it, there has not been anything worth recoding sound for…
Under all of that fuzz is a directional microphone! At least you don’t hear me breathing anymore…

It was a nice day, so I went out to shoot the late afternoon sun. This is a dove. I think. The first two are different edits of the same photo.
It just looks different. I have not found one close to it in the bird guides. It sounded like one.
A little more looking up the Valley.
And a nice cloud to close out this series!
These were shots were mostly in the panorama mode on my iPhone 13.

It was a nice day, so I went out to shoot the late afternoon sun. I managed to get a full 180 degrees with and without the truck.

Like the Dailylife Wife said, it looks like fireworks…
My rule for shooting a spectacular sunrise or sunset (or even just a run of the mill fabulous landscape) is always look behind you too!
