Arizona is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Its other neighboring states are Nevada to the northwest and California to the west. It also shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. It is the 6th-largest and the 14th-most-populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix, which is the most populous state capital in the United States.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. Historically part of the territory of Alta California and Nuevo México in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848, where the area became part of the territory of New Mexico. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Sunrise, and Tucson. In addition to the internationally known Grand Canyon National Park, which is one of the world's seven natural wonders, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
Arizona is home to a diverse population. About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the country, with more than 300,000 citizens. Since the 1980s, the proportion of Hispanics has grown significantly owing to migration from Mexico and Central America. A substantial portion of the population are followers of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona's population and economy have grown dramatically since the 1950s because of inward migration, and the state is now a major hub of the Sun Belt. Cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have developed large, sprawling suburban areas. Many large companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, have headquarters in the state, and Arizona is home to major universities, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University. The state is known for a history of conservative politicians such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, though it has become a swing state in recent years.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

Excitement is in the air in southwest Illinois as tractor enthusiasts and the agriculture industry as a whole gear up for a farm show that’s essentially been four years in the making.
The show, 100 Years of Horsepower, will be held Aug. 25-27 at Renner Stock Farms, located at 3412 Carlyle Ave., Belleville, near the intersection of Illinois Routes 161/158.
The father-son team of Tom and Jake Renner host the biannual event. They planned a show back in 2020, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tom Renner recently discussed the show’s much-awaited return this month during a FarmWeek interview.
“I’m excited. We’ve got so many neat people coming,” said Renner, a St. Clair County Farm Bureau member who runs Shiloh Valley Equipment. “There’s really something for everybody.”
Renner so far has received calls from interested attendees and show participants from 41 different states and Canada. He offers camp sites for the show and more than 40 of those have already been claimed.
A show website, 100yearsofhorsepower.com, offers all the details of the event and a link to YouTube videos about it and some of the featured tractors. The YouTube videos have already received more than 750,000 views, according to Renner.
“I think there’s going to be a huge crowd. People are pent up and they want to do something,” Renner said. “I just don’t know what to expect. We could easily have 40,000 people, but I really don’t know.”
Renner, an avid John Deere and farm antique collector who has his own museum on the farm, said this year’s show will feature a wide array of all brands of tractors, including more than 50 classic four-wheel drives.
Don Dufner also plans to bring three John Deere 830s, which will pull a 12-bottom plow and 52-foot field cultivator.
But the massive collection of antique tractors and some new equipment that will be featured just scratches the surface of what the show has to offer.
It will also feature the following:
Corn picking, shelling and plowing.
Tillage and hay equipment.
Gas engine clubs will display and demonstrate some old hit-and-miss engines.
Threshing machines, including some that are horse powered, and steam engines.
Rugmaking and crafts in a large “she-shed.”
Mechanical flour and corn milling with old-time grinders.
Broom and rope making and a chainsaw carver.
Tours of Renner’s farm museum by retired farmers.
A sanctioned youth rodeo.
A corn shucking contest featuring a past national cornhusking champion.
Renner planted short-season corn early this past spring for various harvest and other fieldwork demonstrations and sorghum that will be pressed at the show.
“We’ve got wide- and narrow-row corn for corn picking to accommodate everybody,” Renner said. “I’m excited there’ll be such a wide variety of things to do and see.”
There will be food tents on the main show site and food trucks in the fields during live demonstrations. Country music bands will provide nightly entertainment.
Renner, who started the show 16 years ago for fellow draft horse enthusiasts, has grown the event with Jake to the point it now has 30 different sponsors.
A number of dignitaries were invited to attend and speak at this year’s event, including Illinois Ag Director Jerry Costello.
Renner said there’s plenty of indoor activities, so the event will be held rain or shine. He also worked with local law enforcement agencies that will provide traffic and crowd control at the show.

of my inspiration, i hope.
My sister and me were experimenting with the jug and water. I helped her with her spilling-shots in return. For this picture I lay down on the ground. It was still wet and muddy. That was not good for my clothes. :)
It was a short shoot, though. It's sunny, but still cold.

Given the field of view with my 50mm lens and the relatively confined space by the pool, I had to resort to a panorama stitch of multiple shots to get this one. The previous was done with my trusty LX3, which of course has a wider field of view, but a much smaller sensor and relatively poorer optics.
