This balayong altar table with two drawers is an 18th century version of those made in the Ming Style that first appeared in the previous century. It stands on four S-shaped block or ogee feet supporting a platform made of a wide plank carved with a cyma molding on the outer edges.
Resting on the corners of the platform on bun feet are Ming Style cabriole legs with the curves of their legs becoming lateral ogees that swing to form the cusped arches of the aprons that run around the sides and front. The lower carcass frame that forms the drawer support is carved in front and at the sides with a convex molding flanked by concave ones on either side. The vertical grooved members on either side and between the drawers are edged with molding and inlaid in the middle with two vertical lines composed of kamagong and lanite.
Attached to the sides of the table, both in front and at the back, are flanges that taper towards the bottom and are jigsaw-outlined with ogive curves and cusps that form serrated crenulated edges.
The mesa altar’s two drawers each have a kamagong turned drawer pull and a keyhole appliquéd with an oval brass surround. The drawer faces are bordered with a kamagong and lanite line-inlaid rectangle having quadrant corners and a semicircle below the keyhole.
The top of the side table is made of a wide balayong floating panel miter-framed, binandeja-style, with planks of wood carved with cymatium moldings on the outer edges.

A stereo (3-D) view of an ancient ruin at Mesa Verde in southwest Colorado. This cross-eye (reverse) version can be viewed without a stereo viewer. To view, cross your eyes so the right eye views the left image and your left eye views the right image. The scene will appear in 3-D (Stereo).
The famous Mesa Arch Sunrise shot. We arrived about 1hr before the sun peeked over the horizon to find several other photographers already in position, but the Photoshop Clone tool saved the day/shot!

We stopped and had a look around the visitor center, and then drove to the Chapin Mesa Museum. From the museum, you have a nice view of the Spruce Tree House cliff dwellings, which are usually open to the public via a self-guided tour. But that trail was closed for maintenance. I asked a ranger why, and he said they were re-paving the trails that day. It's much easier for them to close the entire trail down instead of leaving parts of it open, since people tended to ignore the "keep out" signs in order to trod over the wet concrete.
So here is the best I could do of the Spruce Tree House.

This is Mesa Falls. It can be found between Ashton, and Island Park Idaho just off Highway 20. Near the Henry's Fork along the Snake River. The upper falls are very impressive and worth the time to go have a look.
Uns queriam um emprego melhor;
outros, só um emprego.
Uns queriam uma refeição mais farta;
outros, só uma refeição.
Uns queriam uma vida mais amena;
outros, apenas viver.
Uns queriam pais mais esclarecidos;
outros, ter pais.
Uns queriam ter olhos claros; outros, enxergar.
Uns queriam ter voz bonita; outros, falar.
Uns queriam silêncio; outros, ouvir.
Uns queriam sapato novo; outros, ter pés.
Uns queriam um carro; outros, andar.
Uns queriam o supérfluo;
outros, apenas o necessário.
Há dois tipos de sabedoria:
a inferior e a superior.
A sabedoria inferior é dada pelo quanto uma pessoa sabe e a superior é dada pelo quanto ela tem consciência de que não sabe.
Tenha a sabedoria superior. Seja um eterno aprendiz na escola da vida.
A sabedoria superior tolera, a inferior julga;
a superior alivia, a inferior culpa;
a superior perdoa, a inferior condena.
Tem coisas que o coração só fala para quem sabe escutar!
