Trees; Rocks

IMG_1376aPetrified Forest, Arizona

I didn’t know what to expect when we went to the petrified forest. What we saw was amazing, there were logs of fallen trees everywhere. Once they stood tall, reaching for the sky, now thousands of millennium later, they lay on the ground having turned into rocks. It is pretty awesome!

Cactus

We walked around the stands where Native Americans where selling beautiful handmade items at Four Corners and along the way I looked at the flowers that were on the cactus.  Cactus are such interesting plants that collect moisture and use it as needed, they also produce awesome flowers!

Bird Flying By

As I was taking photographs of this petrified log a bird, I think a hummingbird, flew by.  I took a few photos of this log but this is the only one that has the bird in it, so, it must have flown by fast!

Once this was a tall tree now it has fallen and over the millennium changed from tree to rock.
