The rocks top left is a place I have fished off since I was a teenager. The two eyes are the arches there.
Twisted Shrub/Tree that normally grows to 8 feet...at the rim of The Grand Canyon it reaches up to 18 feet.
I'm not one who knows anything about flowers. In fact I dont even know if this is a weed or a flower. Come to think of it, what is the difference. Either way it's certainly colourful and caught my eye when we took last weeks trip to Bempton Cliffs. The field of rape seed behind helps provide some fine contrast.

At the West End of Negril, Jamaica, a popular "sport" is cliff diving. My wife and I were vacationing here (for our 1st anniversary) and we were having lunch at our hotel on the cliffs overlooking the sea when some locals began diving off the cliffs.
Of course I left my lunch immediately to climb down to the bottom for a good perspective to take pictures! I got some great pictures, but my lunch got cold.
The spot this guy was diving into only had a 3 meter wide opening between the rocks in the water where he could safely land.
The other day I found a large flock of Cliff Swallows building nests. Today I got to watch them gather mud for their nests.

May 8, 2023: Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Built between 1904-1907, The Manitou Cliff Dwellings is a privately owned tourist attraction with a recreated Anasazi cliff dwelling, museum, and gift shop. Visitors can walk and climb through the recreated cliff dwellings. The cliff dwellings are based on actual examples found in Mesa Verde National Park and similar preserved sites.
The Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, lived in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest from about 1200 BC to AD 1300.
