I found this old postcard of Cathedral Rock while we were in Sedona last week so I scanned it. Okay, not really, but you probably knew that. It’s another of my old postcard creations, using texture and rounded edges, that I find so entertaining. Okay, here are a few more Sedona pics. I have the feeling that they sort of all look the same to any viewer after awhile so, after this post, I’ll take a little Sedona break before I post any more.
This is Courthouse Butte below.
Can you see the Eagle Rock above? Here it is, closer, naturally-occurring:
The clouds did cooperate that day.
See the rock formations on the right-hand side of the above photo?
Here they are, in the middle, a little larger. And here they are, below, closer-up.
The two large ones, together, are called the Two Sisters. The one to the left of those is Madonna and Child.
I could never get tired of looking at all of the red rocks…I think. But you might be so we will revisit Sedona a little later.
Well, okay, one more…
Update: This post was Freshly Pressed on 9.26.11! Thank you, WordPress.

It’s really good to see photos of the red rocks, Candace! Is Slide Rock still there and are people still allowed to use it?

Steve, I don’t know what it is, I was hoping someone might ID it. You may certainly be right, it was growing wild. I just looked it up, that sure looks exactly like it and that species does grow in that area. Thanks for the ID.
