As I plod along thinking with my little pea brain about all the turmoil in the world today, I long for the good old days of the Triassic. At least we didn't have Trump. All artwork and photographs are my own, though you are welcome to share.

September. Just above a waterfall on Ammonoosuc River on the trail that takes you to the top of Mt. Washington, New England's highest mountain. Great hike but still got a ways to go... #MountWashington #hiking #creeks #NewEngland #NewHampshire #landscapes #photography

Rugged desert mountains. Four Peaks Wilderness is in the background. Great place to explore and it's best to stay on trails, so they say, but I often stray from them. #FourPeaks #SonoranDesert #saguaros #hiking #SuperstitionMountains #landscapes #photography

This remote canyon in northern Arizona is full of petroglyphs, including creatures with really big feet. There are more petroglyphs on the wall behind this rock. #petroglyphs #Arizona #landscapes #photography #RockArt

It sickens me to see these goons patrolling our streets and killing innocent people here in my own country.

Damselflies spend part of their lives as larval carnivores in streams, rivers, and lakes, so the adults are usually found near water. This is an American ruby spot damselfly in Arizona. #damselflies #insects #macro #photography #Arizona

Nature's sculpture on the top of a mountain near Alamogordo, New Mexico. No trail to the top. Just one of those wild places where you wonder how many have been there before. Taken with a film camera. #hoodoos #geology #landscapes #photography #Alamogordo #NewMexico
