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.

I think it says, "These football uniforms are too tight and where are our helmets?"

Thanks. I've never seen that movie so don't know for sure.

All a matter of interpretation. I suppose I could have written that "most of human history is a mystery", which is true and possibly you would not get so upset. I, too, recognize the arrogance of mankind and wonder how the hell we can justify his disdain of nature and the cruelty of war.

These pictographs in Horseshoe Canyon tell a story that no one alive today can decipher. Seems much of human history is a mystery. #HorseshoeCanyon #Canyonlands #pictographs #RockArt #landscapes #photography

This handsome northern cardinal posed for less than a second in some thickets, just enough time for me to snap this shot. #birds #NorthernCardinal #Arizona #photography

The Gila River in New Mexico. They've been wanting to dam this beautiful river for decades. Luckily, wiser heads prevailed and the river still runs free. For now. This shot taken with a film camera. #GilaRiver #NewMexico #landscapes #FilmPhotography #photography
