I hiked West Wing Mountain trail this morning at sunrise. What a treat. I saw a large owl and was able to get some shots of the desert in bloom.

The fun thing about shooting with a digital camera is the serendipity in finding photos on your hard drive that you hadn’t yet processed. Wendy and I spent a few days in Julian, California for our last wedding anniversary. We stayed in a cabin that faced the West. The first photo is from the back deck. There were a couple of days where we could see all the way to the ocean. This was taken just before sunset and is actually 4 photos merged to an hdr.
This second shot is of a turkey. The State of California introduced wild turkeys back into the environment and they are doing quite well as we saw about 100 of them on our trip.

If you yell ‘liar’ in a room full of politicians, how does anyone know which politician you are yelling at?
Last night we were treated to another speech from the Liar In Chief. Was there anything new? Nope, just the same old, tired, lame pontifications, anger, condescension and empty promises. Promises of actions and additional spending that will do nothing for the economy or for those people that have lost jobs. Nothing for those people who carry the burden of paying for all the social programs. Nothing for businesses to help them defray the cost of doing business so they can start hiring again.
It was nothing but gibberish and lies. Actually, something we’ve become accustomed to with this administration. If the administration isn’t blaming all the problems of the world on the last eight years, then they’re standing up in front of the country espousing lie after lie.
If you’ve seen any of the polls lately, then you know that the American public is sick of lies not only from this administration but from all the elected officials. We want a government we can trust and one that will engage the ‘will’ of the people.
Politicians beware whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, the people are awake and listening and watching. We want less Government in our lives, we want to keep more of our paycheck and we want public servants that will listen to the will of the people.
We are tired of the lies and the liars. We are active and engaged. We are getting more and more organized. If you continue to lie to us, we will send you home…guaranteed. Pay attention to the race in Massachusetts. That was not a fluke and that same scenario will be repeated in every state where the people are not being represented.
My hope is that very soon when someone yells, ‘liar’ in a room full of politicians it won’t apply to any of them.
We are in the process of revamping Arizona Tourism. As a part of the process, we put together a new ’section’ to determine how quickly we could drive traffic to specific Arizona travel content. Check out Cactus League Spring Training. Our Cactus League section has information on the Arizona Spring Training stadiums, info on hotels near the stadiums and links to buy Spring Training Tickets.
I just put together a site for hotel reservations near military bases. The concept is to have geo targeted links for each US military base and to have links show by distance, hotels near military bases. I am using the new Google ad manager program to serve ads on the site. Let me know what you think.
