Peek-a-boo

Another Tortoise rock face greets us up near Toms Thumb. It was a flat image so I applied a little color/contrast punch using Topaz filters.

Rock Knob Tortoise

My willing climber gives perspective to the Rock Knob Tortoise (on right) and a Giant Head (left).

Backyard Playground

Endless photo ops and rock climbing available in our backyard…aka the McDowell Sonoran Preserve! Chris led me on a fantastic hike, yesterday afternoon, to Tom’s Thumb via a challenging (for me) 1800 foot elevation gain trail. It’s difficult for him to pass a huge boulder without trying to climb it which is fine with me especially when I see a rock face 🙂

Angry Bird

I don’t have it on my Smart Phone but this rock face reminded me of a very popular phone Application called Angry Birds.

Sven’s Tortoise

Chris is climbing an area called Sven Tower (I) this morning so we scouted the trail late yesterday. I spotted several rock faces and one excellent rock tortoise which I named after the trail. If you look behind Chris, you’ll see what looks like dust spots but when I zoomed in to clean them up, I was surprised to see Hummingbirds!

Faces, Faces, Everywhere!

Pareidolia is an affliction I don’t mind being afflicted with and since the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is filled with faces, my affliction is working overtime 🙂  Anyone want to admit they remember the cartoon character on the right?!

(FYI…You might think Chris was was pasted in but he was actually standing there)

 

Oak Creek Collage

We spent the last two days of our road trip in Sedona camped along Oak Creek.
