This is an old photo I took at Zion National Park in Utah several years ago. I found this while cleaning up some old photo files, and figured I post this since I have not yet posted this particular image. Angels Landing is the peak in the center of the photo. This image was taken from Observation Point, at the end of a beautiful hike that is one of my favorites.

SAVE THE EAGLES DAY
Each year on January 10th, Save the Eagles Day reminds us of the majestic raptors that soar above the Earth – whether they’re well populated or endangered. Due to the work of scientists and the public, the bald eagle was removed from this list in June 2007. Poaching, pesticides, and other dangers continue to threaten eagle populations.
While the day started as a way to save a specific pair of bald eagles and to raise awareness about the species, the observance has grown to encompass all species of eagles. Approximately species of eagles populate the world. Most of the species are found in Eurasia and Africa. North, Central, and South America and Australia only account for about 14 species. However, no eagles are found in Hawaii. The most common species in North America are the bald and golden eagles.
Eagles are powerful birds of prey. An eagle’s sharp sense of sight paired with powerful muscles, piercing talons, and beak, make them primed for the hunt. They are also monogamous, mating for life.
Memorial day was once called Decoration day and families gathered at the Cemetery to clean up the graves and decorate with flowers the graves of their loved ones who had lost their lives defending our great Nation and our Freedoms.. There is a song by Billy Ray Cyrus that I dearly love and is appropriate for this day..
IC 1000 takes L536 through Dyer, Indiana, only about 15 miles from its destination of Kirk Yard in Gary. 1000 is the only IC SD70 that has a white stripe, and it fits so much better than the yellow reflective tape CN uses normally.
A small island nation exists in the intertidal zone along the Mendocino Coast of California. This nation of round rocks is no stranger to flooding, and the communities that reside there are well-adapted.
Residents of the higher intertidal zones can either close themselves up in their shells to remain moist and ward off predators, or can retreat to a submerged zone when the tide goes out. In the lower parts of the intertidal zone, marine life has adapted a different survival strategy. These plants and animals anchor themselves in place (e.g., barnacles, mussels, and kelps). Their evolution has led them to be either sturdy, very flexible, or otherwise well suited to stand up to wave energy.
I'm fortunate to share this image with you all via Explore! Thanks for your feedback and the continued encouragement!

In Canada, the First Nations (French: Premières Nations) are the predominant indigenous peoples in Canada south of the Arctic Circle. Those in the Arctic area are distinct and known as Inuit. The Métis, another distinct ethnicity, developed after European contact and relations primarily between First Nations people and Europeans.[2] There are 634[3] recognized First Nations governments or bands spread across Canada, roughly half of which are in the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia.
Under the Employment Equity Act, First Nations are a "designated group", along with women, visible minorities, and people with physical or mental disabilities. First Nations are not defined as a visible minority under the Act or by the criteria of Statistics Canada.
North American indigenous peoples have cultures spanning thousands of years. Some of their oral traditions accurately describe historical events, such as the Cascadia earthquake of 1700 and the 18th-century Tseax Cone eruption. Written records began with the arrival of European explorers and colonists during the Age of Discovery, beginning in the late 15th century. European accounts by trappers, traders, explorers, and missionaries give important evidence of early contact culture.[9] In addition, archeological and anthropological research, as well as linguistics, have helped scholars piece together an understanding of ancient cultures and historic peoples.
Although not without conflict, Euro-Canadians' early interactions with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit populations were less combative compared to the often violent battles between colonists and native peoples in the United States.
