What's happening to "our" national parks and lands

Yet more proof of the results of our government being owned by the wealthy and corporations, due to campaign contributions.

Happy birthday, old girl

Grand Canyon was "born" a National Park this day in 1919 (coincidentally, the year my Father was born). If you've not been, you owe it to yourself. No picture could ever do it justice.

One of my favorite shots (of a total of 623 I took) from a brief, 2-day trip to Las Vegas--on business, thank you--this week. I cropped this from a larger shot but really like the way this turned out. I would absolutely recommend flying out of Kansas City to Las Vegas on an early morning--6:30 am--flight on a clear day. The sun, the light, the changing geography, all make for a fantastic trip and viewing.
