The sunlit buttes and mesas of the Mongollon Rim stand, at dusk, under a darkening blue sky with white horizontal clouds. In the foreground is the red dirt of Oak Creek Canyon and some yellow and lots of green foliage.
Happy #BlueSkyMonday!

A large sienna-colored spire juts upward from a rocky platform. In front of it are lesser sienna colored rocks. Beyond it is the green foliage and sienna colored hills and valleys of Oak Creek Canyon and the distant, blue mesas and buttes of the Mogollon Rim. All are under a clear blue sky and a thin, horizontal white cloud stretching across the bottom of the horizon.
A large spire, part of #CathedralRock, for #RockinTuesday
Hope you’re having a lovely day!

Oak Creek Canyon in the Coconino National Forest. In the foreground are green scrub plants and foliage. There are two buttes on each side, the sienna colored right one in sunlight, the brown left in shade. Both frame the brown and green canyon below, the blue Colorado Plateau in the distance, and the bright blue November sky.
Here are some magnificent rocks for #RockinTuesday

Brins Mesa Trail, Coconino National Forest, Sedona AZ. In the foreground is a sandy, sienna colored path dotted with small scrub plants on either side of it. Further along, there is a horizontal row of evergreens that meet the path and line the right side of it as it curves to the left. Behind the tree line. In the background, is a sienna and tan horizontal striped Mesa, and beyond that a more distant, rocky tan Mesa to its left. Above it all is a clear blue sky with a few wispy white cirrus clouds.
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being

how to grow without asking,
how to color the world gently,
how to belong without needing to be seen.

A Mesa and spires on Cathedral Rock, Sedona, AZ, Coconino National Forest. Taking up the right side from the upper midground to the top is a tall, sienna colored spire. In front of that is a darker, large sienna rock. In the middle of the photo is a more distant mesa on top of green foliage dotting a rock face that extends to the bottom of the photo. Beyond the mesa is a distant valley, white horizontal clouds over the distant Mogollon Rim, and bright blue sky above it. On the left side is a sliver of another tall spire.

Taking in Views Seen at the End of the Fay Canyon Trail #FayCanyonTrail @CoconinoNF #Arizona #NikonD850 #CoconinoNationalForest flic.kr/p/2oR5PQ4
In the upper mid ground is The Mogollon Rim seen from Brins Mesa Trail inside the Coconino National Forest. Above it are white and blue-gray horizontal clouds and patches of blue sky. In the middle foreground is the sienna colored trail heading away to the midground, surrounded by evergreens, succulents, and scrub plants. In the far left mid ground is part of a rocky brown and sienna colored butte. The caption is in reference to the passing of the BBB by the Senate today using an Aesops Fable, The Tree and the Axe, as a metaphor. See below: “A Man came into a forest, and made a petition to the Trees to provide him a handle for his axe. The Trees consented to his request, and gave him a young ash-tree. No sooner had the man fitted from it a new handle to his axe, than he began to use it, and quickly felled with his strokes the noblest giants of the forest. An old oak, lamenting when too late the destruction of his companions, said to a neighbouring cedar, "The first step has lost us all. If we had not given up the rights of the ash, we might yet have retained our own privileges, and have stood for ages.”
Dear Congress: As The Forest, we demand you stop swinging the Axe!

Under a blue sky lined with a horizontal row of white clouds at the top of the photo is the distant navy and medium blue outline of the Mogollon Rim mountain range. In the foreground and midground is sienna colored dirt filled sparsely with cacti and a succulent in the front left corner. Above them on the far left is an evergreen that reaches the top of the photo. On the middle right is a smaller evergreen, and beyond that, filling the right side, is green foliage on a hill, at the top of which is the bottom of a dark sienna colored rock formation.
It’s another week! Happy #BlueskyMonday, friends☀️
Feeling we have a long way to go as the week stretches out before us, but hopefully we will all mostly enjoy the weekly “climb.”
