Petrified Forest

No, as my son learned, this forest has no standing trees of stone. It sure does have a lot of beautiful rock, though, as the minerals that have settled in these logs have created a rainbow of hues. Did find a few plant gems in this arid place.

Traveled next to Canyon de Chelly and really enjoyed the dying light on the canyon. Then the next day moved on to Monument Valley. Here, above, you can see the scrub that dots the landscape.

And for a bit of scrub in a different environment, the Grand Canyon, south rim.

In closing, a view on South Kaibab Trail, very green because it's spring.
