Happy #Stunday! It’s a beautiful day here in Prescott, Arizona. I walked to the top of the ridge, Petroglyph Point, and got a great view of Granite Mountain with a bonus raven in the shot.

Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?”

A white Flame Point Siamese cat with orange on his face and pink ears and nose lays peacefully with sunshine streaming across his head and paws. He reminds me daily to pause and appreciate, to soak in the sunshine every chance you get. Cats are like that. Photo by T Jacobs.

The grass is always greener… or, the outside is always better. Until the door is closed, then the inside is suddenly the place to be.
