Near Sedona, AZ - Oak Creek Canyon

Boy! Was the dirt red, dry, and filled with growing and blooming things. Alan standing near a cactus of some sort. Beautiful!




A tree along a path in Oak Creek Canyon - a lovely park.


Alan saw some very large trout in here!


Cairns everywhere, in the land of the Vortex, of crystals, of mystical thinking.

And a tiny creature sunning on a rock.

More At the Grand Canyon


At an overlook, trees cling to rock.

The colors are amazing; too bad it was overcast for these pictures.


We stopped at the site of ancient ruins.

Then, we headed for Sedona, AZ and Red Rock country.

At The Grand Canyon

Here are some more pictures from our great cross-country odyssey.





This is the observation tower at the Grand Canyon, designed by Mary Jane Colter. It's an amazingly beautiful building.


Of course, I stopped to knit!

My husband did the picture taking.









We had a perfect view from the top of the tower.

Pictures From Our Trip


Cactus Flower Bugs in Tucumcari, NM

We saw many, many trains all across the country.

La Posada - Winslow, AZ - A Fred Harvey Hotel designed in 1930 by Mary Jane Colter

The Turquoise Room in La Posada - delicious!

Knitting on Log Cabin VII - At Meteor Crater, in AZ - It was cold and very, very windy here!

Can you tell we went on vacation? My sweet husband drove all 6500+ miles! All 23 days were just perfect!! We had such fun! More next time!
