Driving through the Pinaleno Mountains in Stockton Pass near Safford, Arizona. Compared to many of our off road adventures this is like driving on an interstate highway.
I’ve been collecting beach glass for as long as I can remember!
Piled up for Smile on Saturday theme, Balancing Act.

I'm off volunteering this morning so this is one of my balance creations from earlier on in the year. Typically it's an amazing purple and pink sunrise sky this morning.Isn't that always the way. It's like the balancing of stones, you have to Figure it Out , by Royal Blood. I think w should be adjourning for a festive drink at the Plough and Harrow at lunchtime. That should make up for another remised sunrise.
Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving.

Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments - Chandana
A burrowing owl as it was about to take off from a field. It seems to sway left and right, balance itself then a few hops before it took off so fast. I was glad I manage to get a good clear shot before it sped off.
A closer look at those wicked clouds penetrates their nuances and reveals dimension. In turn the amazing sunset colors have me thinking of cotton candy and younger days. It was also convenient the blue sky left a reverse space somewhat equal to the mountain silhouette. This helps with balance.
Saw this lovely Chestnut Teal down at the lake recently.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Having fun with some orange marbles, Post-It notes and some (rare) sunshine to complete the scene.

"Because before the morning comes
There's a certain calm
And then there's light
It just takes time
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time"

For roughly 2 seconds Danni was perched atop her dog Boo.
Dad was just off to the left and kept her from toppling over.

'it seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas … If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you … on the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones.' - carl sagan, (november 9, 1934 – december 20, 1996) - the burden of skepticism
“The winds and seas, the powers of water and earth and light, all that these do, and all that the beasts and green things do, is well done, and rightly done. All these act within the Equilibrium. From the hurricane and the great whale's sounding to the fall of a dry leaf and the gnat's flight, all they do is done within the balance of the whole. But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore

La bellezza è solo in superficie. Ciò che è veramente importante è trovare un equilibrio tra mente, corpo e spirito.
Beauty is only on the surface. What is really important is to find a balance between mind, body and spirit.

In covid times our Government did the unusual act of getting back in by a landslide. I'm glad they did as it showed the average kiwi is not happy with people spinning untruth about how our pandemic was handled. Today I am in our capital city, Wellington, where one person has covid and is in isolation. All their contacts are being chased up and self isolating and I hope I will not meet any of them today.

What does the word 'balance' mean to me ?
Defying gravity is how I see the word, but of course it has many meanings. For an idea for a macro it was a question of balancing some thing on some thing to defy gravity which was a real challenge as I discovered. I tried lots of different materials but settled on three glass nuggets balancing on top of each other. Trying to balance four glass nuggets proved impossible, gravity won every time! It was not as easy to do as I first thought, a question of patience on my part trying to find the exact spot to balance each nugget, keeping my cool and not breathing too hard and then lighting the scene required further patience but I'm pleased with the result!
