Imbued by light,
and shadow.
Water reflects pastel hues.
Faces form in the rocks,
and vanish in the shadows.
Light is fleeting here,
defined by shadow.
Cheers to you from Sedona Arizona~

I should’ve guessed this was Arizona, but I didn’t. I’m sure you’re having a lovely time — and what glorious scenery you’re capturing for us! I can’t get over that blue, blue sky!
And then it rained! And that was beautiful too. Cheers & thanks Debbie დ
We live in a beautiful world that continues to astound and amaze, as do your photos, Cindy!
Hugs to you Rebecca. You know how much I enjoy traveling with you! დ
Wonderful
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Maria დ
The beautiful colours of nature. Awesome pics! 😍
Thank you Sandra & I am happy you enjoyed დ
Gorgeous photos! I love the faces and the shadows, too. Colors change so much from sunlight to shadow and each reveals different details.
It is fascinating. It tells us that our perceptions are not absolute დ
Very nice pictures of the place! The landscape is amazing. The place sparks your imagination, kind of what were there before this time..
Thank you and yes. It has the feel of eternity დ
Amazing !!
It is stunning დ
Beautiful country Cindy, the light does make it sing. Our central Australia has those red, pink hues everywhere and like your spot creates so many different colors just by waiting another 5 minutes. Great post 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
You are so right about the five minutes. Everything changes! Amazing. I really noticed this on the basalt rock faces in Tasmania დ
Nature, she is something else 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Unrivaled!
Love that you capture the tiny details.
Much appreciated Kally დ
Snake and skorpion territory 🙂 But it looks great
Yep. We’ve seen snakes but no scorpions so far დ
Love Sedona!
დდ
I love the dragonfly! Sedona is so beautiful… I haven’t been there for a while… must fix that.
Beware. Word has gotten around. It is very crowded! დ
Wowww. Beautiful, all!
Thanks very much John & cheers! დ
Lovely shots. Awesome environment.
It is stunning. Thank you Michael დ
Welcome 🙏. My pleasure.
Magnificent, Cindy. The second trip Pretty and I ever took together was to Arizona – we loved Sedona. The formations are amazing.
It is gorgeous, but crowded! Word has gotten out. We are now in less crowded country and enjoying the serenity. Happy you visited before the hordes! Stay well Sheila დ
Stunning photos. The red craggy rock is beautiful. Arizona landscape is God’s country. Thank you for sharing.

Arizona is stunning country and we are being daily confronted with amazement. Thank you Velva & lovely to meet you დ
Gorgeous landscapes! The dragon fly was amazing! Such sharpness and detail!
So happy you enjoyed & thanks for letting me know! Cheers to you დ
I can see why they are one of your favs. The two that I have seen in my life have both been very friendly fellas! დ
Thanks for reminding us of the beauty around us.
You are very welcome my friend. Take good care დ
Don’t you love all the different landscapes our country has it makes me sad knowing how beautiful it is but would our fellow man here fight for it like is happening across the world.
Yes. I relate to how you feel. We are Americans. We all share a love for our beautiful country and a desire to protect her. We need to stop all the fighting with each other, and start focusing on all we have in common, in order to protect America the Beautiful დ
Our people have changed with many now living here with no skin in the game. No pride or allegiance to this country you can see it in the behavior to our flag and people. No history of this beautiful place resides in their hearts. A divided nation can be taken down from within. I for one am thankful for being older than 60 for sure.
A divided nation is a weakened nation, I agree with you Eunice.
The landscape is amazing, Cindy! I also love the dragonfly image, the details are so beautiful!.
So appreciated Amy. Thank you & be well my friend დ
Beautiful pictures Cindy. They make me want to hop on a plane and head to Sedona! It seems like just yesterday my husband and I were there, and yet I realize we took our 1 year old, who is now 27! Oops!
The geography is just as stunning and mind boggling, but the crowds are a bit different. It is really crowded. One is still able to hike away from the crowds though which is wonderful. There are other gorgeous red rock places in the southwest where you can be alone in nature if you prefer a more solitary natural experience დ
So much beauty in the natural environment.
Yes! Incredible დ
a beautiful capture of a land I love with great memories of walking those mountains Cindy! 🙏
Marvelous hiking, especially when you get out in the backcountry დ
You’re sooo right. Enjoy! 💖
დდ
Sedona is so beautiful, love this set and your explanation of shadows and light.
“Faces form in the rocks,” I read that line and immediately started to see faces, LOL!
Yes, they were definitely there for me too! Fascinating დ
Lovely photos of the unique landscape!
Thank you very much Rebecca დ
Such fantastic red rocks. You give an incredible view of the place. Unfortunately here at the moment all we have falling is red dust from the Sahara and thankfully sone rain! Keep well.
I so relate. And, it is raining here, hard! It probably still won’t be enough to reverse the drought, but it rained all day, and looks to rain all night. Be well my friend დ
Oh am glad you have some rain too.
დდდ
Beautiful, simply beautiful!
And, the wings of that dragonfly are astounding! The entire being is gorgeous, but the photo you have here truly highlights the amazingness of wings – so strong and effective, yet so intricately delicate!
Wings are nature’s miracles aren’t they, as are the creatures who pilot them. So happy you enjoyed Dawn & thank you დ
Beautifully put.
You’re welcome
დდ
That dragonfly photo is amazingly beautiful!
Thank you very much დ
These pictures have so much personality!! These rocks look like they could tell some tales! The dragonfly, is 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉
A place to hold your heart.
Yes indeed. Cheers to you Nancy დ

RED—IS ALIVE!
Smiling! Red is alive. Thank you Johnathan დ

I’m glad they do and thank you John. Central Mexico is so beautiful დ
