Free Fall Flow, River Flow

Yeah I'm free - free fallin'... One of the many basaltic buttes along AZ's wild and scenic Verde River; this one's about 1/4-mile downstream of the Gap Creek confluence. Here, the water drops at an average rate of 20 feet per mile. You may as well leave your cellular phone in the car, because it will be totally useless here. Amphibian and landlubber animals are plentiful, and rattlesnakes seem to love this place, so be careful where you step and place your hands. Thank you for your cooperation. : )) November 28, 2009

Re: Mr. Petty...

You're way too kind.

I'd like to thank myself for eating too much. Naturally, I needed a place to recover, as my cares dropped off and did a
free fall down-river.

Great picture!

And a perfect song to go with it! I really like the pictures you have been submitting with your new camera!

Re: Great picture!

Thanks Kathy, I've been very lucky.

I was considering attaching a link to
"The Doors", but who remembers Jim
Morrison and the Doors ???

Anyway, it was fun watching the cattails
dance in the wind, and the leaves falling
off the trees.

Definitely a nice capture

I like the colors in this one Larry, but....
where is all the red at?

Re: Definitely a nice capture

The "red" is most certainly out there, but
it needed a vacation (for a few days) while
all the remaining turkeys got together and
had a discussion on how they could bring
their numbers back to "pre-Thanksgiving"
levels.

In the meantime, "The Home Depot" is definitely ... in the RED !!! : )))

Re: One of your best of late!

Yep, thank you kindly and I reckon you're correct.

Apparently, it was not "POTD" material. What
it lacks is a "gale force" wind blowing the
cattails into the river.

People love excitement, I reckon.

Re: One of your best of late!

I have to admit I was surprised to see that pic of me on San Jacinto as POTD. It was a rather cheap snapshot. I guess what sold it was "excitement"!
Yours here is a much more worthy candidate.

Re: One of your best of late!

What's that? Did you say something?

I must have dozed off. I was looking at my
picture, and started to get the "yawns."

The only 'excitement' going on in my picture is a dragonfly having a bad day.

Thanks anyway, hombre !!! : ))
