Rusty hook


Okay, it's not too rusty, just a little bit. This is the hook on the wagon that was posted previously.

Old fashioned pick up truck


How pioneers used to move stuff, like our current pick up trucks, but you needed to provide your own horse power. Here are two other wagons from the same location as the post two days ago.

Wagon from Utah


This is at Capitol Reef National Park, UT. This park is a little out of the way and less congested from some of the other National Parks. Beautiful red rocks and great hiking.

Wheel from the past


This is a view of the frontier town that is at Lion's Park. The sidewalk in front of the old town store fronts makes a great bike riding path with few walkers and dogs.

Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ


Looks like a flying eagle. This was taken in Lower Antelope Canyon which allows photographers to take a tripod in for two hours. It was less crowded and lots of stairs. In the Upper Canyon you are not allowed to take a tripod unless you are on a photo tour which was up to $90 when I was there. My fee  in the lower was $25. You do need an SLR for the permit and not just a point and shoot.

Aspens framing a peaceful road


This was a nice surprise when downloading recent Cheyenne photos. Found these on a SD card that had not been downloaded and was in the formated folder. Remember that elephant? This was taken on a day trip to Silver Jack lake from Blue Mesa, CO last summer. Looking at the other photos, they have that tourist light and over cast skys that does not help landscapes. And they are ASPENS!

And with Trump's historic win last night, I feel that we will soon be on the way to restoring America as we once knew it.

Time...Illusive time


This is post 300 and posting each day (when I have wifi) has sometimes been a challenging learning curve. I am not sorry that I committed to it, and have learned photography technics that I would not have bothered with otherwise. This is a table top and before starting this 365 project I had no appreciation for and preferred landscapes and outside stuff (still do).  Tabletops can be very time consuming with getting the lighting and composition so it works. And boring.  With this one I leaned how to remove the highlight and light reflection.  No easy task with glass. Please notice almost NO glare.

But for me this photo symbolizes more than just a photo of clocks. It's the time that slips through my "fingers" as the day moves too fast to accomplish all that I wanted to do, should do or required to do. I am struggling with not enough time- or time that didn't accomplish what it should have.  This project is time consuming, but not the only thing that is eating up my days.

I had not planned the 300th post to be on this historic election day - it just happened. It will be nice to be "past" the election, but I know which ever way it goes, it is not the end of it! I just hope that America as we know it does not disappear. God Bless America and may the country that our founding fathers created, survive.
