… it’s hard to look into the eyes of Yoda, the Northern white cheek gibbon, and not wonder what he feels, or even thinks.

This is where I parked last night. That's not my truck, but there was plenty of available parking at this little truckstop. Dunnigan California.

Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah
A tough little Utah juniper is perched on the sandstone edge of Dead Horse Point.
Part of their success is due to their root system. About two thirds of the tree's mass is in its roots. A tap root can go straight down 25 feet (8 meters) searching for water; lateral roots can go horizontally over 100 feet (30 meters).

Saturday Self Challenge
This week in SSC:
"High Key Photography"
You will need to focus on getting your image as bright as possible with no shadows and without overexposing your subject.
This challenge turned out to be just as tricky, if not more so than lasts weeks tilt shift. I set the in camera setting to ‘High key’ and tried numerous subjects with little or no success. I’d just about settled on a flower when I spotted Jingles watching me from her relaxed position on the back of the sofa. Before she had the chance to run off I got down just below her level and took a few shots. The high key setting has successfully got rid of the background, and taken the colour out of the throw over she’s laying on. Strangely enough it’s also turned the fur on her back, which often looks brown in certain light, a reddish colour. Anyway, she managed to look totally unimpressed with my efforts.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
She was constructed in 2013 and is one of the largest pipe-laying ships ever built.

This is Middle Falls on Mt Airy Creek. I made this single from the trail about 100 feet above the creek below on river-right. This is probably the best vantage point for a view on the length of the waterfall, as it is practically a slide. There is no way to reach the base of this waterfall from this view, or for that matter, any section of the creek except for the upper and lower extremities. The ridgeline trail is a straight vertical drop to the bottom with no hand-holds. This photo accommodates and portrays the length of the waterfall but how extremely steep it is viewed from this point. I did find a possible entry point about 100 yads downstream off the trail possibly leading down to the creek side, but I wouldn't even think of it without a 100-foot rope. Even if I were able to make it to the creek below, I'm not sure how visible the waterfall would be given the geometry of it's upper height and rhododendron overgrowth. I'm still going to plan an excursion to make it down though.
Looking back at 2017, one of my favorite chases besides shooting the Pickens in South Carolina was our trip to Quebec to follow the Central Maine & Quebec. It was really neat to see the Bangor & Aroostook "Heritage" SD40-2F 9017 barn leading train number one across former CP Sherbrooke Sub.
