This is how you know you're doing it right

By the end of the afternoon, this is what my boots looked like:

And here's what happened along the way.

1. A hike up Wilson Canyon, just north of town. 

Sand ripples in the creek, a tributary to Oak Creek.

Sitting on a ledge next to a tiny waterfall.

The view upstream.

Rt 89A crossing Wilson Canyon

 2. A hike in Boynton Canyon to visit the vortex there.

While I was busy offering up a heart rock, Kevin was spying on me and got this picture of me. Not shown: all the scads and scads of other people in the area at the time. 

Various views from here:

3. Sunset from the back end of our hotel compound on the top of Airport Mesa. 

Not many words today. Words = overrated.
