The small humanoids who share my dwelling 

have compiled a comprehensive map."

Heading back to Las Vegas after an amazing week

at the Zion Canyon Native American Flute School...

leaving Utah and entering Arizona...

 

leaving Arizona and entering Nevada...

making a pit stop 
at the Valley of Fire 
on the way back to Las Vegas...

The red rocks remind me a bit of Sedona!

Beehive...

Tons of amazing Petroglyphs...

The Arch...

Playing at the Arch 

my purple heart wood

Native American Style Flute

that my dear husband made for me...

Mistletoe...

Big Horn Sheep...

and their babies up in the rocks...

More rain is coming...

...and we are in the pastel slot canyon...

this is not good!

Yikes!

rain has begun filling the slot canyon...

A new beauty to see after the rain comes...

wet rocks!

the rain intensified the red color in the rock...

 More long horned sheep on the way out of the Valley of Fire Park...

Our hotel in Las Vegas for the night...
