Default What do friends do on Saturday afternoon?

Saturday afternoon in Sedona. A perfect winter day -- cool air, bright sunshine, and beauty everywhere you look. The only thing to do is to go for a hike with a friend!


Friends starting down the trail at Palatki Ruins:

On the Trail


Friends enjoying the view of Oak Creek at Crescent Moon Ranch:

Cathedral Rock Reflection 2


Friends finding a private place for a heart-to-heart talk:

Friends


Friends running away from the photographer together:

Deer


Dear DPS friends, I wish you could join me on these beautiful trails! As always, I so appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.

Helen, you are so lucky to live in the most beautiful place in America. And I see you are taking advantage of that fact. These shots are stunning. You have good material to shoot.
