You'll find a number of these "balanced rocks" in the general vicinity of Lee's Ferry/Navajo Bridge/Marble Canyon (i.e., northern Arizona). The rationale for tossing shoes onto the top of them eludes me.

You'll never understand the bond between a horse and his owner once you got to experiment it yourself. Even if you're having a bad day, you'll still go take care of your horse in first and put him in the top of your list and your horse will take care of you back by comforting you.

MALACHI: “Careful Mutzli! I don’t want you overbalancing.”
MUTZLI: “I’ve got the bottom of it in my paws.”
MALACHI: “Right, well I’ll slide it forward them Mutzli. If you can step backwards as I do, and then it will fall down like the other one did, and we shall have one Krówki each for afternoon tea.”
MUTZLI: “Alright Malachi.” *Ponders.* “Are you quite sure Daddy won’t mind us eating two of his Krówki Polish fudge sweets?”
MALACHI: “Of course he won’t Mutzli! Look how many there are in this sweetmeat dish. Besides, don’t you have a grumbly tummy?”
MUTZLI: “Oh I do, Malachi! Grumbly tummy, Malachi. Grumbly tummy.” *Goes to rub tummy vigorously.
MALACHI: “Careful Mutzli! Don’t let the Krówki sweet fall!”
DADDY: “Ummm… Malachi?”
MALACHI: “Oh!” *Looks up and sees Daddy watching he and Mutzli. “Yes Daddy?”
DADDY: “Malachi, pardon me for asking this, but what exactly are you and Mutzli doing?”
MALACHI: “Well, I thought that was obvious Daddy! We are helping ourselves to some afternoon tea. Grumbly tummy Daddy! Grumbly tummy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
MUTZLI: “Hullo Daddy!” *Blushes pink beneath plush white fur.* “Grumbly tummy?”
DADDY: “Then why didn’t you and Mutzli ask me for some Krówki Polish fudge, Malachi?”
MALACHI: “Well I should have thought that was obvious too, Daddy.” *Puts paws on hips.* “We couldn’t find you, so we had to take matters into our own paws.”
DADDY: “Oh!” *Surprised.*
MALACHI: “Now, if you’ll excuse us Daddy, Mutzli and I have to get this second Krówki sweet out of the dish so that we have one each.” *Thinks.* “Of course you could hep us, Daddy, by picking it out of the dish for us.” *Looks hopefully at Daddy.*
MUTZLI: “Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy.” *Looks hopefully at Daddy.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 10th of June is “candy”. This was not the easiest theme for me, only because I do not have the sweetest tooth in the whole world, however I was lucky, as a very dear friend gave me some Krówki Polish Fudge at Easter, and not having such a sweet tooth, I still have plenty left to photograph. Krówki, literally meaning "cows," are Polish fudge, semi-soft milk toffee candies. When hand-made, they are hard and crispy on the outside, but the inside is more fluid than solid. It is one of the most common Polish confections, sold worldwide, and might be considered "dulce de leche candy". If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the “Looking Close on Friday” group. This includes Malachi the bear, who today is joined by his cousin, Mutzli. I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.
Mutzli was a lovely surprise gift from a dear friend in Britain who kindly slipped him into a parcel of other delightful gifts for me. Like Malachi, he is mohair, has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Mutzli got his name from the tiny gold tag around his neck. He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.

I mentioned this before and I'll mention it again for this photo; Glacier NP has been the original inspiration that gave me the landscape photography bug.
Redemption is one of the best feelings in the world. And there's where the story of this image begins.
Going back to February of 2016 when I went on my first landscape photography trip to Death Valley, I had no idea what I was doing. It was just me running around with my dinky tripod and Canon DSLR, thinking I was going to come away with some great shots. Some shots were okay, but I did not know what truly made a good landscape photograph.
A few months later in July 2016, I would finally make it to Glacier NP. This was my opportunity to visit and photograph Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain, the landscape that originally inspired me to pick up the camera.
Things would momentarily end there. The trail that goes past the overlook was closed. An animal carcass would mean bears were actively traversing the trails. Getting to view the mountain and lake from another angle would not be possible.
On top of that the skies were all clear and I would return home without a rewarding photo of my favorite location.
Three years later, redemption was in reach. I was finally back in Glacier NP, and had planned to photograph Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain for sunset and this time the skies were stormy looking and very dramatic.
But the outlook was looking grim. AGAIN just like the Summer of 2016, the trail that continues past the overlook was closed again due to an animal carcass. That is two visits to Glacier NP, and twice I've never gotten past the overlook.
Running around worried I would not get possibly my favorite photograph for my landscape portfolio, I finally found this nice little frame of the lake and mountains. Had I been this position back in 2016, I would never have seen this spot.
I was now set to capture my favorite image that I was after since the beginning of my camera. It was only a matter of time until the clouds and light were right. There only one more thing that would make this image better.
I knew based on my past visit to this spot that mountain goats traverse this area very frequently, and while looking at this composition I imagined, "What if there was a goat standing right there in my frame?"
As my luck would have it, a mountain goat walked right into my frame and posed there for a good 30-60 seconds before he was gone. It was at that moment after snapping away, that I had finally gotten the shot of my dreams.
And that is my story of Redemption. I finally got the shot of my dreams. And even though I have still not been able to hike past the overlook, that still means one day I will return and continue on.
Thank you for reading this far as this image has become one of my favorite images. I am very proud of the journey it has taken me on and am excited for the future adventures will lead me to.

🇫🇷 En alternance je vais poursuivre notre voyage monténégrin avec la présentation d' un petit album sur Ramses ll
Durant ces vacances d'été, nous y avons emmené les 2 plus jeunes de nos petits enfants...J'ai accompagné le garçon dans son approche photo de l'expo, et je vais mettre en ligne quelques uns des clichés que j'ai pu réaliser ..... malgré la foule et parfois les vitres .....
Si vous ne l'avez pas vu , notre amie Raymonde a produit un excellent album qui retrace magnifiquement l'ensemble de l'Expo

🇬🇧 Alternately, I'm going to continue our trip to Montenegro with the presentation of a small album on Ramses II.
During the summer holidays, we took the 2 youngest of our grandchildren there... I accompanied the boy on his photo approach to the exhibition, and I'm going to put some of the shots I was able to take online ..... despite the crowds and sometimes the windows.
If you haven't seen it, our friend Raymonde has produced an excellent album that beautifully captures the whole Expo.

OK... I'll just hide behind the grass and she can't see me... at all!
Shortly after there was a disgusted snort (I stepped into view, albeit quite a way off as I didn't want to spook them, I then moved back again) as she had figured out what I was, but she wasn't concerned, she simply strolled further into the brush.. The second Sow was grazing behind her and there were various youngsters all rooting about as well.
After watching some more, we wandered back the way we had come and let them continue undisturbed.
I have been feeling overwhelmed lately.My kids are at a demanding age and I'm having a hard time being as dedicated to you,my dear Flickr friends,as I should be.I enjoy you all so much and don't want to neglect you when I am on here.So I think I need to take a brake.I thank you all for understanding.I'll be back when I get things back under control.
Keep up the good work.And thanks again you guys.

Oo PlzZ Do Not Use My PicS WithOut My permission ;**
I'll be back out here in a month so figured it's time to get in the mood with a few more from last year.
I definitely want to spend a bit more time over on this side of the railroad though I can't imagine ever topping this moment. I shared the money shot long ago here: flic.kr/p/2pa8o2J but here's another frame as the scene began to unfold with CN train U7918203, a load of taconite from Minntac headed to Two Harbors behind a brace of C40-8s led by CN (blt. Jul. 1989 as CNW 8511). One of a large group retired by UP more than 23 years ago they were Citirail lease units for a time until the CN purchased the entire fleet between 2010-2012, and later modified a portion of those with straight air for Iron Range ore train service. Alas their time seems to be about up as a string is already in storage at Proctor and according to knowledgeable locals by this time next year they should all be gone from this service replaced by rebuilt wide nose Dash 9s running in a 1x1 DP configuration.
The heavy train is swinging around the curve to begin the climb up toward the Hwy 44 crossing at MP 22.7 southbound on the Iron Range Subdivision. Modern day CN's designation for the route pays homage to the historic former Duluth and Iron Range Railroad which built this route and saw its first load of ore roll south from the Soudan Mine in 1884 to what was then called Agate Bay. In 1938 the road was merged into the Duluth, Missabe and Northern both long owned by US Steel to officially create the legendary Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway.
