I haven't posted in a while. Life has been in the way. But had a great morning walking along the Little Horse Trail in Sedona, Arizona.
Grand Canyon Sunrise
I had a chance to visit the Grand Canyon for the sunrise this week. It was early (we left Flagstaff before 5AM), it was cold (20 degrees F with a wind that just went through you), and it was worth...
Me, Me, Me (and a few hours in Sedona)!
I had a day off from work and I had to spend it with myself. What is there to do when you live on the north side of Phoenix? How about drive for about an hour and hang around Sedona...
