Sedona, often referred to as ‘Red Rock Country’, is about 120 miles north of Phoenix. I had been there once in 1986 when I lived in Phoenix and fell in love with it. When Allen and I were in Phoenix last May (2011) photographing an engagement session, we decided to mix pleasure with work and make a mini vacation visiting Grand Canyon and Sedona neither of which he has visited.
We rented a jeep from Barlow Jeep Rentals because some of the trails were quite steep and rocky. Normally I am the one driving because I tend to get motion sickness. But on this adventure, I gladly relinquished the steering wheel to Allen..jpg "Sedona-21 (2)")

There was a HUGE sink hole called Devil’s Kitchen Sinkhole. I guess if you fall in, you’d become the devil’s meal, thus the name ‘Kitchen’? 😀

Then there was Seven Apache Pools. Well, don’t go jumping into them because they were pretty small. I didn’t try to see how deep they were.

I was captivated by how blue/white the sky was and how majestic the rocky mountains stood!

And who would have thought dessert plants could produce such beautiful flowers!

There were many interesting formations, and I spotted this. It almost looked like a little girl playing hide and seek. Doesn’t it?

And this one looks like a flying dragon. The sun peeking through the tree was glorious! Even though it was May, Sedona’s weather was quite pleasant.

Allen was busy capturing all the beauties! Me? Just snapping some guy who gets in my way a lot. LOL!

There was even a 700 year old Sinaguan Honanki Indian ruins.

If you’ve never been to Sedona, I hope my images give you a glimpse of this beautiful playground.
