On June 18th, I featured a “G’morning Shot” of a snail taking a drink of water. I have stumbled across some more of this same photographer’s work and find this one even more magical than the previous one I posted. You really need to see this in full size to truly appreciate the photography of this artist.

I cannot help myself… Yes, I can hear you groaning all the way through the internet waves. Tee hee
Here are the TOP TEN reasons to ban gay marriage (I hear David Letterman’s voice in my head when I read that… don’t you?). Number one….
1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
Need I say anymore? You are missed, George. May you rest in peace.
I chose this picture tonight simply because this is one of my favorite places I have ever been. In my younger years, I used to guide backpack trips through this canyon, as well as The Narrows and Orderville Canyon, for the Sierra Club’s Outings department. I have stood in that exact spot the photographer is standing in many times. LOL… each time I would reach this point, I always had plans to dip down in that crystal clear natural whirlpool. But each time I arrived there, I would find that it was just as cold as my previous visit so I would simply stand there and breathe in the beauty around me.

“Doublespeak. The deliberate use of ambiguous terms in order to deceive the public, is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and it’s the kind of language we hear constantly on TV. But why does the mainstream media comply with its use?
“Well, that’s what happens when governments transfer the public airwaves to private corporations in a practice known as deregulation. In this environment, reporters lose their autonomy in exchange for military protection, they are co-opted or embedded.
“A war that most nations refused to support becomes the War for Democracy.
