Taken with a Canon G11, no editing at all...
The beautiful color is a bit deceptive. Although it was very striking at the time, the reason for its brilliance was distant fire instigated by the severe drought last summer in West Texas. Thousands of miles of land burned, causing a haze in the air that extended for hundreds of miles. Beautiful as it appeared, it was only the result of much destruction.

“As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a con-sensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom: a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
