In the left half of the picture there appears to be a single standing rock. It is very visible from my house. Chimney Rock is it’s name. But it is three rocks - not one. It is a Sedona landmark.

When you look at the mud huts the Native American’s live in, and listen to R. Carlos Nakai’s music, it is a bone chilling experience.

Thank you, my.

At the end of that beautiful video are these words:

Treat the earth well
it was not given to you by your parents
it was loaned to you by your children
We do not inherit
The earth from our ancestors
We borrow it from our children

Words so true........... thank you, my

Been too quiet for a little too long, so here are a few more pictures...

First, we have Sun Devil Stadium and Tempe Town Lake. Sorry about the blur, I took the pic out the rear window doing 65MPH! The stadium used to be Sun Devil Stadium, then it was home to the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, and is once again home to the Arizona State University Sun Devils. Tempe Town Lake, in the foreground, is a recreational area resulting from a small dam across the Salt River. Yes, we have rivers in Arizona. Some of them even have water in them!

Arizona still has more dirt roads than paved roads. We're slowly making our way out of the 19th Century in the more populous areas. This isn't one of them. This is East Bloody Basin Road leading into the Agua Fria National Monument. There's not much water in the Agua Fria river. Not much else out there either, except creosote and cactus...oh, yeah, and lots of clear blue sky!

Speaking of cactus, here are a few varieties of cactus growing alongside the trail to the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona. Here you see several varieties of cholla cactus, including teddy bear and chain-fruit, 2 varieties of prickly pear cactus, and some yucca (or agave) plants.

These are the accomodations I had originally picked out for y'all while at the Grand Canyon, but the owner forgot to mention they'd been some weathered between the time the travel brocure photo had been taken and the present. I'm glad we took NY Texan's advice on where to stay while in Sedona!

Okay, then! Lunchtime is over, it's time to head back to work. See y'all this evening some time!

Hey, Jinxy! Good pictures. That second one? Are you sure you didn’t take it once when you were driving down I-20 near the Davis Mountains in West Texas? Looks much like what I see every day! LOL!

LOL!! I absoluely love your sense of humor!

My B-I-L had a place similar to that on his farm in Arizona City where the seasonal laborers would stay. Only real difference is that his place had a roof.

Until the Santa Cruz flooded, that is. Floods were good for topsoil, but murder on structures.
