Re: Post The Latest Picture You Have Taken

Millions of years I would imagine. However, there are some folks down here who believe that the world is only 6,000 years old despite the scientific proof which says otherwise !

Re: Post The Latest Picture You Have Taken

This is Gooseneck State Park in southern Utah last Monday. There are four successive goosenecks carved by the San Juan river some 1,000 feet below. A little known gem near Mexican Hat, AZ.

This little cutie is currently resident under my carport. She's been sitting for a week or so. There are two eggs and the incubation period is 16 to 18 days. Hopefully they will both make it. The...

Re: Post The Latest Picture You Have Taken

Jump up and down on this one. It's the Skywalk at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, near Peach Springs, AZ. I took this from the Colorado River. It's a mile straight down if you jump up and down...
