Senior Moments

Betsy and I took our first trip out west in 2011.  It was a new experience for both of us, and the landscape was completely different from the forested mountains we enjoy here in Tennessee.

We visited several national parks on that trip, including Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park in Arizona.  The colors in the rock formations were almost incredible, especially in the Teepees area of the park.  There layers of blue, purples and grays were created by iron, carbon, manganese and other minerals in the rock formations.

When viewed under a clear blue sky, the scene was one of incredible beauty.
