SEDONA AND GRAND CANYON PLUS CACTUS






















Hi Folks

Here are some shots of Sedona and the Grand Canyon.

Sedona is famous for its red rocks and has some wonderful forests, creeks and canyons.

The Canyon is truly awesome. It stretches for 277 miles across northern Arizona, is an average of 10 miles wide and 1 mile deep. It reveals some 2 billion years of geological evidence.

By the way, I’ve found that the cacti here have really grown on me. (I’ve got one taking root on my back) They are amazing monoliths of the desert. The Saguaro cactus don’t even sprout arms until they are 75, can live for 200 years and reach 50 feet in height. They expand in order to store water in their spines and owls, woodpeckers and other birds nest inside them.
