I should probably explain why I haven’t been around for a while.
A few months ago I put down my camera and put on my running shoes to begin training for a 48 hour fixed time race to bring in the new year. It didn’t end well.
Going forward, I want to put down my Nikes and pick up my Nikon. As soon as my broken finger heals, I want to go out and take some pictures.
In the meantime, here is a repost from a few years ago, when the Trump administration proposed the removal of this place from the protection of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Nowadays, things are looking better for the future of my hoodoo friends.
The photo has been lightly edited, and the text, below, somewhat more.

Memento Mori (The Queen)
Daughter of ancient sea and flowing lava
conceived and buried
after a million centuries rising
her crown choosing her
as the land falls away
She has lived through it all
seen fantastic things come
and go in a stream
of deep time ending
with the arrival of man her assassin
She has not much longer to exist …
what wind earth and water would do
slowly
man will accomplish in an instant
And so I come to her court
cloud moon and stars
this beautiful woman who has
endured,
like me soon to be no more
to sleep at her feet
and dream
On a sunny day you walk past the park and they are empty...
No yells, screams, bangs and prangs.....
Just a sad silence and yearning swings....
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And that’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What my friends say
There’s a message in the wild
And I’m sending you this signal tonight
You don’t know how desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight

I am missing the grayness and rain of Oregon today. Southern California's drought is weighing me down. Its been a long dry winter here.
I think I located that load of firewood you were waiting for. Abandoned vehicle along Primrose Road north of Seward, Alaska.

Someone just put these here on the sidewalk across from the Santa Clara City Hall and then walked off?
I did notice they are missing some of their glasses too. Missing glasses missing glasses? English can be such a tricky language. : )

I don’t normally talk about my problems on Flickr, but I’m really struggling lately so I need to vent. I hesitate to even talk about it because it’s one of those things that unless you’ve been through it, it’s easy to judge because of a lack of understanding.
I”ve been dealing with chronic pain for 2 years now. It’s not the kind of pain that comes and goes. If only I could be that lucky. I hurt 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have for 2 solid years. It’s isolated to my neck, back and shoulder all on the right side. When I open my eyes in the morning, I’m hurting. When I close my eyes at night, I’m still hurting. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat and cried over the fact that it never lets up. Nothing relieves it. Nothing. I’ve seen numerous doctors, been through test after test, tried numerous therapies both traditional and alternative, but still can’t get a clear diagnosis or any relief. This week I’m scheduled to go to a pain specialist for a diagnostic procedure, but even he doesn’t sound hopeful.
I’ve become an expert at hiding this. I smile, laugh and carry on with my life only to come home at night exhausted from fighting it. I’ve yet to miss a day of work because of it. 99% of the people I come in contact with everyday have no clue what’s going on.
This week is just a bad week. It’s one of those weeks where I’m tired of being strong.
That being said, if it wouldn’t have been for photography, I don’t know where I’d be with this right now. It has truly saved me and continues to do so. When my camera’s in my hand, I almost forget about the pain. Almost. It brings me so much joy.
So the title of this photo is very fitting for me. I’m truly missing me right now because that’s what chronic pain does, it takes pieces of you bit by bit.
But I’m a fighter and I”ll keep fighting. Because a part of me still believes that someday, someone will figure this out and fix me.
A beautiful sunny day in Folkestone, but the recently installed beach huts are somewhat surprisingly underutilised.
Structure in pretty good shape considering it is missing a roof and is a bit crowded by the tree.

Missing You
John Waite
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
Been away from Seascaping now for a few months for a much needed break. Headed out with Focus this morning to Minnamurra and realised how much I have missed the friendship and the smell of salt air and water. Jeez its good to be back. Thanks to the South crew for a great morning. This is a 5 minute LE, taken about 20 mins before sunrise. Hope you like "Missing You""....Cheers, Mike
