Road Trip Destination- Sedona, AZ

Red Rock
​

Picture

Bell Rock is my favorite rock in Sedona.

​Looking up

Picture

Even on a branch, I'm still "looking up" at the big rock.
​

Better yet...
Picture

I can sit on a flat round post and feel secure as I gaze upwards.
Picture




I like to brag a little bit, about my adventures. But I have to admit, I'm afraid of heights. I'm still recovering from being near the edge of the Grand Canyon.  Give me a solid surface and no wind!

​In the Shadows
​
Picture

I have very good reason for sitting in the shadow! I tucked myself safely into that shadowy corner, because there was less wind. You have no idea how strong  the wind was!
Not Much View

I couldn't see much view from that spot.
Picture

But I'd so much rather hug the rock, than fall over the edge!
​

​Morning!
​

Picture

The warm sun gave me a little courage and then the winds had died down.

Holding On

 
Picture

But, I still kept myself in the low dip of rock and gripped onto a crack with one paw. I was too scared to turn around and look at the view. Beth showed me pictures later.

Still in Texas!
​

Picture

This road trip is moving very slowly through Texas.  But at least I'm learning some history!
Picture

Can you see me, standing upon this piece of historical wall?  It was once part of the first transcontinental  mail route! I'm talking, before the Civil War...the stage coach stopped here for water along the way from San Francisco to St. Louis!  This is amazing to me!

Back in the Flowers
​

Picture



This is a very strange looking plant.  I noticed  a sign nearby that read,
APACHE  PLUME!


Would you believe this flower is part of the rose family?

Hairy Things
​

I'm sort of okay with posing in flowers like these.  The hairy parts remind me of  Dr. Suess characters.
Picture

I also had a pretty good view of the  Guadalupe Mountains from my spot in the flowers! I wish Beth would have just taken me to the top of the mountain, instead. 

I could have claimed I had been to the highest point in Texas!

Fire
​
​
Here I am, sitting in a burnt tree in Davis Mountain State Park.  
Picture




A year ago I was supposed to come stay here, (riding in Beth's camera case) and the trip was cancelled due to wildfires.

We should have come anyway.  I'm sure there is something I could have done to help.

Sad
​

Picture

I just keep looking out on all this burnt land.
Picture

It's not just the trees...
Picture

This building was burnt, too.
Picture

Beth told me to stop moping...
Picture

She stuck me in some wild flowers and reminded me that there was new growth.  Come on Beth.  That was just an excuse to pose me in flowers again!

Off on another road trip!
​
​
Headed to Sedona, but we've only made it to West Texas. 
Picture






Here I am, pondering how near yet so far I am from Mexico! A week ago I celebrated Cinco de Mayo. Now I'm just a few miles from the border.

​Big Bend National Park 

Picture

I'm so close to Mexico. It makes me want a margarita.
Picture

Maybe if I keep climbing up high and staring towards Mexico, Beth will take me for a visit!
Picture

Oh well. The view is nice. I'll stop complaining.

Cinco de Mayo

How to Celebrate

​I need to plan the day.
Picture

First I'm going to sit around with some peppers and get inspired about what to cook.
Picture

These peppers are very colorful.

Climbing


If I get bored with planning, I could practice some of my climbing skills on the peppers. Or I could even climb the sombrero!
Picture
Thinking about peppers makes me thirsty.  What kind of drink should I have with my festive Mexican dishes?
​

​Tequila!

Picture




I could think about making some margaritas. But it's a long climb up that old Tequila bottle. I'll have probably have to rest a while, on my way up.
​

Opening the Bottle

 
Picture
​If I do make it to the top of the bottle, I have no idea how to unscrew the lid! It's still morning. I have all day to plan.

Evening Update!
​

Picture

I lucked out by joining Don and Beth, with a little evening celebration! I may look as if I'm posing like the lime... but my paw is actually absorbing some delicious flavors!  A paw makes a very good sponge!

A Sewing Project?

​Sewing Adventure?

​I guess sewing doesn't sound like much of an adventure.
Picture

But, taking on a sewing project when you're my size IS an adventure!
​

Big Needle!
​
Picture

That needle almost reaches up to my shoulder!  Now look at my paws... how could I possibly...?
​
Changed My Mind
​

Picture

I liked the idea of making something, but a spool makes a very good chair.

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
