We stayed in a lovely place about 20 minutes from the maddening crowds in Sedona, Arizona.
It was Spring Break and high season in Sedona, with heavy traffic. Great timing right? But, we managed a drive that yielded photos of a stark and rugged landscape. All photos were taken with my trusty little cell phone (named “Pal”). We lugged the big new fancy Nikon and could never get it put together right for a quick shot – and believe me, you had to be quick. These mountain shots were real fast drive-bys!
We made one stop at a Holy Cross wedged into the high rock face of a mountainside. Wow!
There is no describing the enormity of the red rock mountains and canyons of Sedona. I was dumbstruck by vividly painted blue skies punctuated by jagged crests and crags.
It was the beginning of a trip full of surprises.
The sky is so gorgeous and those rust-red walls – wow! amazing geology!

Love! The blue sky makes me homesick for my homeland — and I would have been hard pressed to leave that patio overlooking the pool, Dor 🙂
