After spending some time at Four Corners, we went to our next stop to pick up a few goodies for our trip.  Along the wall of the market we stopped at, they had beautiful paintings of Native American’s.  It reminded me that this is Indian country; mainly the Navajo, Hopi, Ute & Zuni tribal nations!

Trees; Rocks

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!

Tall Tree Fallen

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

Beautiful Colors

We came to some construction on the road and we were at a standstill, so I got out of the car and took photos of this beautiful hill.  I loved the colors, the contrast of the greens, oranges, browns & blues!

Mary’s Garden

Salt Lake City, Utah

I went to a friend’s house for her granddaughter’s High School Graduation Celebration.  My friend, Mary, invited me into her garden, an English Garden and I had to sit, put my feet up and RELAX, it was so beautiful!
