Hiking in Sedona, AZ 2012

Open Sedona
.

Sun iron details

around gated entrances

open Sedona.

.

A tall ponderosa Pin forest

along the drive of oak creek canyon falls

music beats through the intimate canyon river

.

From where we lodged we walked

around bell rock and the courthouse

with long shadows stepping on

hollow rock sounds

around the vortex.

.

The agave blooms life size

lily pad blossoms

held skyward and toward

the simple and very significant structure

The Chapel of the Holy Cross

we see from a climb up

Cathedral Rock.

.

Psychedelic colors of the desert blend

between sky blue, white purple, green

red-pink and lean down to the

Verde Valley, lush tees around Oak Creek

where small black birds open up a bright white

wing span.
