The Desert Calls

   What has fascinated me along the drive is the stark landscape of bare rock and little vegetation under vast, clear skies. The geology of the Colorado Plateau is exposed throughout large portions of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah and I have marveled at what nature has created.

   The boulders sometimes balance precariously above the road as if a giant was creating a rock tower.

   As we enter Arizona I looked forward to the freeway overpasses which are art exhibits in themselves.

   Designs in the cement are painted with bright colors which contrast the neutral palette of the desert.

                   I can't wait to kiss those babies in Phoenix which are expecting us very soon.
