Going Back to Happier Times

[CrazyCatWom]

For me, that is. Times when my vibrating flippers didn't vibrate and could open a package of cheese slices. Times when I wasn't always cussing when the cane I leaned against the wall wouldn't fall and scare the crap out of Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt, Adventure Cat. Times when I wasn't stuck for hours on hold waiting for a government worker at the state Medicaide office to actually answer the @#$%^&!! phone

I think I mentioned with the photo that almost cost me my job, that I hadn't been photographing in Albuquerque for a long while. Well, here's one of the reasons why: While I loved the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, for we residents of ABQ, Balloon Fiesta can be a pain in the hinny! Working for the camera store, I got weeks paid vacation, so I would plan one of those weeks off to be during Ballloon Fiesta, and I would travel and photograph in another state entirely!

2005, I think it was road trip time to Arizona and Utah. So here's Horseshoe Bend!

love the picture and yes it is madding when you try to get the cane out of your way and of course it always falls to the floor and it does scare everyone around to blank blank ...and it is always so loud ,this is a great picture kind of scary .....

I always apologize and let the nearest person that my crutch is falling for them! I just hate when my crutch misbehaves like that!

[CrazyCatWom in reply to carolek572]

Oh, I freaked out my neurologist's assisstant when she had led me into the exam room then left. I leaned my cane against the wall and it clattered to the floor. she rushed back in, afraid I'd fallen, and I just pointed to the misbehaving cane!

[twooldcrows in reply to carolek572]

seems like everytime i go to the doctor doesn't matter which one but it will have to fall at least once ....just wants more attention ....so funny great funny ...wow we are easy to please....have a wonderful day and many more and filled with lots of laughter and love and any kind of happiness...

Fantastic photo. It makes me want to go there. 👍

[Amore55 in reply to jimeka]

Oh, you should when travel opens up! I will meet you and we can venture through through the Utah parks that are SO fantastic! On our scooters! 🤣😂

[jimeka in reply to Amore55]

You have a date 👍

[CrazyCatWom in reply to Amore55]

I don't have a scooter, but I could hoble beside y'all with my cane through Zion! I'd gone to most in Utah, but snow closed the highway and my attempt to go to Zion.

[Amore55 in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Okay, come along! We will hook you up with a scooter! Much easier and Zion is a must see park!

Beautiful photo!

I admire photographers that take unbelievably stunning shots like this, CrazyCatWom I still don't know how all these are taken. I would think that you were in a plane or a helicopter, correct? Keep Smiling

[Tinker-Belle in reply to carolek572]

I agree. It’s incredible.

[CrazyCatWom in reply to carolek572]

Nope! Just standing on the edge of the higher land. Never been afraid of heights!

[CrazyCatWom in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Okay, brain fuzz--I was trying to think what that spot where I was standing was called . . . it is an overlook on the bank of the Colorado River!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Wow, you amaze me, CrazyCatWom

[Tinker-Belle]

Beautiful. I bet the picture doesn’t even compare to the real thing, either. What an awesome view.

Horseshoe Bend looks lovely. When first diagnosed, I was told by some that when one door closes another opens. Still looking for that one! 🤣😂🤣

That’s a magnificent picture. I’d love to travel out West.
