The book that shaped history. One of only 20 complete copies of the Gutenberg Bible in the world. The invention of movable type made printed materials more widely accessible and increased literacy. The spread of knowledge and ideas fostered the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution. #gutenbergbible @johanngutenberg #harryransommuseum #austintexas

It’s not too late. What have you done to celebrate books and support authors? Attend an author event, a book signing, stand up against book-banning, visit your local bookstore, try out a new bookstore, donate books to a worthy cause, hang out at the library, read aloud to someone, tutor an emerging reader, share a book, put a book in your neighborhood “tiny library”, start a “tiny library”, post a book review, rate a book online, post to social media, and curl up with great reads - ANY month of the year.

Enjoyed a literary event yesterday featuring Scott

Enjoyed a literary event yesterday featuring Scottsdale author Karen Odden. Held at the Martin Auto Museum, Karen gave a fascinating and thought-provoking presentation about the ways in which the rise of transportation - railways, steamships, and cars - has transformed our lives. This occasion was sponsored by Phyllis Taylor, well-known Barnes & Noble bookseller, book group facilitator, and author advocate. @karen_m_odden @phyllistaylor #aladyinthesmoke #atraceofdeceit #adangerousduet #downadarkriver #underaveiledmoon #martinautomuseum #urban_cookies

The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon – the perfect ant

The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon - the perfect antidote to the return of triple-digit temps in Phoenix. Set in 1789 Maine during the “Year of the Long Winter”, a dead man is cut from the ice of the Kennebec River. Midwife/healer Mistress Ballard concludes death by hanging while the local doctor rules it accidental drowning.
This conflict leads down a twisting path proving there’s more than one way to justice. Inspired by real events from the life of renowned midwife, Martha Ballard. #thefrozenriverbook @ariellawhon #mystery #midwifery #maine @marthaballard

A thriving network of prairie dogs near a duck pond. They scurry from one hole to the next, head popping up and down. You can hear high-pitched squeaks and chirps across the field. #prairiedogcolonies

One of the 25 accessible cliff dwellings in awe-inspiring Walnut Canyon National Monument. Take the mile-long round trip on the Island Trail. If you’re daunted by the 273 stair descent and 185 foot drop, you can still enjoy the ancient ruins from the Rim Trail. Every time I visit, I marvel at how the indigenous peoples eked out a living in the canyon. Imagine hauling water from Walnut Creek on the canyon floor to the rim where they cultivated their crops. #walnutcanyonnationalmonument #flagstaffarizona #sinaguanpeoples #cliffdwellings #islandtrail #rimtrail

Osprey on nest overlooking manmade residential lak

Osprey on nest overlooking manmade residential lakes in Flagstaff. Unusual for raptors, the osprey feeds almost exclusively on fish, talons curved for maintaining their grip in flight. Typically, an osprey pair returns to the same nest site, adding new materials as needed. I’ve enjoyed looking for the occupants every summer. #ospreys #raptors #flagstaffarizona

A few of the 800 petroglyphs in Picture Canyon, occupied by the Northern Sinagua (people without water) from 700AD - 1300AD. Accessible examples of archers, turtles, large mammals, birds, and symbols. A beautiful hike with riparian areas, a waterfall, remnants of an old logging-train trestle, a pithouse, and tall pines. #picturecanyonnaturalandculturalpreserve #flagstaffarizona #petroglyphs #sinagua #zuni #hopi

So far the valley monsoon has left swirling dust and debris in its wake. Not a drop of rain to quench the parched desert. The only rainbows I’m seeing are from sprinklers. #monsoon #sonorandesert #rainbows #arcoiris
