Hi ,

The Red Rocks of Sedona

My husband and I are on a "working vacation" in Arizona, the state of my birth. We're in Sedona for a few days, and then we'll spend a few more in Scottsdale.

Despite living in this state for 23 years, before this week, I'd spent almost no time in Sedona. And let me tell you, this place is gorgeous. My walk this morning really lifted my spirits! Here are some photos:

And here's a little lizard (his body was a few inches long) I saw on the sidewalk. When he realized I was coming, he tried to hide by camouflaging himself on a tree.
