A Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) certification course was held at Fort Buchanan, June 15-26, as part of the U.S. Army's qualification requirements for sexual assault response coordinators and victim advocates by the 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC), U.S. Army Reserve-Puerto Rico.
There were no birds at my feeder when I looked out the window this morning -- except for this Sharpie with its breakfast.
Road sign in the Netherlands warning about a sharp turn to the left. Officially this is known as sign J3.
There's a place out near the First Water Trailhead on the Tonto National Forest where a mature cholla garden exists. There are many varieties of cholla in the Sonoran Desert, but the largest is the tree-like chain-fruit cholla (Opuntia fulgida). Its branches are covered in sections of extremely sharp and barbed spikes, while also bearing "chains" of spineless fruit enjoyed by native wildlife such as mule deer and bighorn sheep-- and also by the cattle that range on many open desert allotments.
I thought it'd be kind of neat to contrast the sharpness of its spines with a soft, out of focus background--including the stars.
