We drove west all day, from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Flagstaff, Arizona. The landscape all looked the same....desert! Then as we crossed into Arizona, we came to the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park. Wow....the sights were amazing!
We saw more ruins from earlier people...and the park had this picture showing a youngster and his dog taking care of the turkeys. I think I would have liked to have lived back then.
The rocks looked painted!
And the trees turned to stone with pretty minerals inside.
Momma finally realized why I won't look at the camera.....it's because the sun is so bright and it hurts my eyes. Doesn't she know that it's not good to stare at the bright sun????
I have been busy with my daughter visiting etc and FINALLY had a chance to catch up on your "adventures"..........I have never been to the Petrified Forest and Painted desert. The pictures are gorgeous and I'm sure in person it is even more awesome!! Love, Noreen
