As some of you know, I was raised on a working cattle ranch in Northern Arizona. It provided a wonderful place for a kid to grow up and learn some valuable lessons for the rest of life!
Here are some pictures of some of the places and things interesting to me: Click on the image for a larger pictures.
 A wonderful sunrise to greet the day! |
 Trees in the spring on the patio. |
 One of the residents! A large Bull Snake doing his best imitation of a peeping tom! |
 One of the hazards of ranching is the possibility of having unexpected company that expects to be fed! |
 Looking toward the house from the Twin Tanks pasture. |
 Yep, it does snow in Arizona. |
The Little Painted Desert. Long, long ago, it was an inland sea. It can change color minute to minute when there are clouds in the sky. These Pictures were taken from Hyw 87 North at the Little Painted Desert Rim Drive. I'll always consider it my front yard.

These
petroglyphs were made by ancient ancestors of the Hopi indians.
They are located near the Homolovi State Park. They are on the
top of a mesa not too far from where the main village was
located. Some have theorized that it could have been a lookout.
The petroglyphs could have been the scribbles of someone kind of
bored.
