Last year “the girls” took a trip to Sedona. We had a blast in this beautiful part of the country. I have visited many different parts of our beautiful country and overseas too. But I was surely taken by surprise when I set my eyes on Sedona for the first time. At first, I thought I was on another planet! I had never seen such huge red monstrous rocks, and I was totally enchanted. My camera never left my side. Every corner we turned had new vistas with cream, tan, gold, red, pink and orange layers in those surreal rocky monoliths. I will always remember my very first sighting of those rocks and how I gasped! The natural beauty of Sedona, will always be with me.

Thanks for visiting.

I was in awe when I first saw Sedona many years ago. I was visiting the Grand Canyon and could not believe the beauty in that area. Have a Great Day:)
Yes…we went to the Grand Canyon too. I was blown away! Have a great Tuesday to you too!
You captured it beautifully Judy. Love the warm colors and textures. Margie
Welcome back, Margie! How was NYC?
Thank you so much….it was a great trip!
Beautiful country! Pretty, pretty pictures.
God Bless You!
Thank you, Lady Deidre! It’s God’s country for sure!
I loved your Sedona slideshow! I confess I wasn’t sure where it was, and thanks to google, I found it to be in beautiful Arizona! What a fun place to go with the girls, it looks like a dreamlike setting. Those colors and and stunning rocks. Amazing. Your photographs are enticing!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Elisa….I should put AZ in the title or in the story! Didn’t realize I didn’t have it. Thanks for your comments! It is magical…
Good thing the camera never left your sight . Such a series of breathtaking landscapes and the amazing play of sky and rock colors are just dazzling. Nature’s canvas at its best. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring post. Best wishes to you and your love ones…
Thank you very much, island traveler! It is a very inspirational, magical place…
Oh I loved Sedona. It was other-worldly, and impossible not to feel closer to God looking out the windows from the Holy Cross Chapel. Thanks for reminding me of this very special place.
It is very inspirational. God’s country, indeed. Thanks, Laura..I’m glad I was able to bring back memories for you!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve tagged you in a game but it’s no big deal if you don’t want to take part – if you do – follow the link here http://hurdlestohappiness.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/time-for-some-fun-tag-youre-it/ and have fun with it. Enjoy your day!
Ok thanks! I might have to wait a bit on it. I’m kind of overwhelmed right now! The tag games are fun. Enjoy your day too!
What a beautiful place! Your pictures are so vivid and gorgeous, it makes me want to pack my bags and go there! 🙂
Thank you, Zelmare! It is very inspirational and magical. In fact, you think you’ve arrived in another world.
Fabulous shots! Love all of them!
Thank you, Madhu….I appreciate your comments!
lovely photos judy. love it!
Thanks so much nitzus! So kind of you to say that!
The textures in the rock faces are amazing. I think I need to cross the pond and see your scenery for myself.
Oh do that, Jim! You will not be disappointed. And I’d love to see YOUR photos! 😉
Oh so beautiful!!
Thanks, Cee! I appreciate your words!
Beautiful pictures! Your country has so much to offer in terms of these lovely natural wonders. Many years ago, my husband and I went camping in several states there including Arizona. We loved it there. My husband is a geologist so you can just imagine that places like the Grand Canyon are very special. 😉
Malou, I’ll bet he had fun in AZ! It’s a geologist’s dream, isn’t it? 😉 Utah is the same! Thank you, kindly for your comments.
Yes, we had so much fun visiting Utah, AZ, New Mexico and Colorado. We went to see Canyon Lands, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest Park.
You covered a lot of ground, Malou! We are planning on visiting AZ again, then Utah & So.Colorado this summer. We hope to hit all the parks you mention!
What a goreous set of photos, Judy! Amazing and so rich and colorful. Last summer, I was lucky enough to see the Badlands, and the landscape looked much like this. So amazing, and yet, the photos I took really couldn’t capture it’s vastness and beauty.
Wonderful images. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Hi Jenna… It’s been many years since I’ve been to the Badlands, but I remember thinking I could be on another planet, or the moon! I agree…it’s very beautiful there. When we were driving around the Badlands, a mule deer poked his head in my window! Apparently many others had fed him. Thanks for your comments!
Lovely, lovely pictures. You’re right. It looks like another planet, especially to me. I’m from Canada. We have red soil on the east coast.
Thank you, Tess! It is a “must-see” area in my opinion! I’m sure I sucked all the air out of the car when I got my first glimpse! In the mid-west, we have nothing like this either. 😉
I’ve heard it’s a remarkable place. Your photos are superb. When they say a picture doesn’t do it justice, they were wrong with your pictures. Amazing!
Wow…mj, you are so kind! Thank you. It is a very magical, inspirational place. Like another world! Hey…I like your new profile photo!
Thanks. It’s a goofy pic, like me!
Naw! You aren’t goofy! But you have a great sense of humor!
I have been wanting to visit Sedona for quite sometime now and your amazing shots make me want to go there even more! May be this spring :s
Thank you! It is a special place…like another world! 😉
Sounds like a dream. 😉
It is a magical, serene, spiritual place. I was totally blown away by the beauty of these rocks when I first set eyes upon them.
We lived in Phoenix for almost 5 years and loved Sedona – you have captured it beautifully!
Thank you Marilyn! I appreciate your comment!
Beautiful pictures, Judy! I hope one day I make it to Arizona! Exciting place! Thank you for sharing!
I hope you do too! It is so magical and spiritual and just plain “other-worldly”!
