The #Utah effort to overturn the Legislature's new law banning collective bargaining by public sector #labor #union s is looking good, according to the @sltrib . The signature-gathering effort to get a repeal on the ballot has to hit two milestones: 8% of active voters statewide, and 8% of active voters in half of the state senate districts. Signatures have been turned in, and now the state is validating them.

The first will be easy, as the petitioners turned in 320,000 vs. the 140,000 they needed state wide.

The second is looking very much on track as well, with 11 of the 15 needed met, and 3 more that are getting very close to the threshold. And so far the state has only validated 120,000 of the signatures turned in - though we don't know how many they have rejected, so we don't know if they are 37% through or further than that. But still, looks extremely likely to pass this hurdle.

And this is a crazy number of signatures - the most, by far, in state history, so I think it's a *very* good chance that it will pass the vote easily too.

I love trees, in all their stately splendor.

During the winter, when they discard their leaves, they show off their elegant, sculptured form.

Come spring, they array themselves in shades of green, which they swap out in the autumn for a panoply of colors. One imagines them at their closet, indecisive over red or gold? Orange or coral?

Zion National Park - Virgin River Valley View As the golden light of late afternoon gently kisses the sandstone cliffs, the majesty of Zion National Park reveals itself in full glory. This image captures one of the most iconic views in the American Southwest—the Virgin River gracefully winding its way through the dramatic canyon, framed by towering red rock walls and rugged peaks. From this vantage point, you can almost hear the river’s whisper and feel the ancient stillness of the landscape, shaped over millennia by water, wind, and time. The interplay of shadow and light accentuates the textured cliffs and brings a sense of depth and timeless wonder. It's a moment of quiet awe—a reminder of nature's power and grace. I created this photograph with the intention of drawing viewers into the heart of Zion, inviting them to pause, breathe, and experience the serene beauty that only a place like this can offer. On the way up to the West Rim Trail, Angels Landing and Scout Lookout, Zion National Park. This is part of a spectacular hike.
