Magical Moment 545, "If I was a Squirrel, I'd Live in the Grand Canyon"

Okay, this may be the best photo I've ever snapped in my life. Someone who is great at making up captions, please. This picture seriously needs a good one.

Dinner with a view.

High rise apartment.

These little critters are just hoping the nature-starved tourists will drop a crumb. He thinks my camera is a candy bar.


Scratch that. If I was a HUMAN, I'd live at the Grand Canyon!

Oh great squirrel god in the sky, I beseech thee, send help.

I've been digging and digging and digging and digging and I just can't find my nuts.

OMG, that first one could be a post card! I love it!

I had a Magical Moment today. There is a little girl (about 3) across the street that visits her grandma. Today her dad dropped her off and as he was getting back into the car the little girl yelled out, "Daddy, I love you with my single heart!"

Esther, it gets pretty hot during the day then really cools off at night. It's so pretty!

TexWisGirl, I was thinking something along that line too!!! :)

Susan, I am Laughing Out Loud!!!! I like the second one for sure!!! :)

Birdie, thanks! I love your Magic Moment!!! That is too precious. Makes your heart melt.

Holding Moments, thank you! Of course, it's easy to take good pictures out here among all this beauty! :)

Robin, I am really getting into the photography lately! And out here in the Grand Canyon, I just can't stop myself from taking pictures. Thanks for the kind words!

I agree with roobo69...your photos ARE getting better and better...and I don't think it's just because of the natural beauty of the area. These are all wonderful. I'm not good at clever captions, so I'll leave that to someone else. It IS a great shot, though.

"O Lord, won't you send me a big bag of nuts,
Mine dropped off the cliff here, you know I'm a klutz,
I promise to share them, and not be a putz,
O Lord, won't you send me a big bag of nuts."

(with apologies to Janis Joplin)

Beautiful photos Elizabeth ! I've spent some time just looking at your recent posts - gorgeous scenery !

Rick, another good caption! All of them seem to do with praying! :) Glad you enjoyed the last few posts.

Dawn, well the truth is....Eddie was holding a piece of bred above him and he wanted it SO bad!!! Lol! There's the secret. These squirrels were very brave around humans! :)

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le...

Magical Moment 280, "The Eleventh Hour"

The Veterans Day Parade, NYC On July 29, 2001 , five exceptional men were honored by the President of the United States for their remarkable military service. They were involved in a top secret mission that required unfathomable intelligence and as a result, literally won a battle which was instrumental in winning the war. Not the war that was happening in 2001, not even the Gulf War. It was World War II, and they were the Navajo Code Talkers who were largely responsible for winning the bloody battle of Okinawa. The only problem with the ceremony was that just 5 remained of the original 29. Our country was too late in thanking the other 24, and nearly too late in thanking those 5 men. On March 10, 2010, three hundred women won the Congressional Gold medal for their outstanding war service. Unfortunately, 800 received the award posthumously. These were the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II, who devoted themselves to flying military aircraft like the B-26 and B-...
