Sedona, You Have to Stop.

Tuesday, September 15, 2015 0:29

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The view from Sky Ranch Lodge. Ridiculous.

Meanwhile, in the garden, an agave leaves a perfect print of the older leaf on the new unfolding leaf.

That gets me. And it’s the whole reason I have an agave. Well, that and that my friend Lori sent me one, knowing I’d love it.

Seeing them in the wild is just the bomb. Even though I would never, ever want to fall into one. That could actually kill you. They are sharp as knives. Even my little baby here at home has nailed me a bunch of times. I still love her.

The light plays on them making endless kaleidescope shapes and patterns.

Take a picture of me with this massive agave, please. (On the grounds of Sky Ranch Lodge).

So Barbara Samuelson did. Now that’s a decorative plant. I could use one of those in my yard in Ohio, but I’d probably have to take out a rider on our homeowner’s insurance.

My friend Maria told me I had to climb Cathedral Rock. So I saved it for when Russell and Barbara could come along, knowing it would be awesome.

It was so cool to get closer and closer, and have this looming rock take shape right before us.

With an ocotillo and Opuntia tonsure. The sky couldn’t have been any bluer this morning.

Looking down, some nameless pompom plantie. I wanted to take it home, but I knew it would hate Ohio.

Looking up, Russell against an impossibly blue sky. We speculated whether the sky just looked that blue by contrast with the red rock, or whether it was really that clear, that blue.

We were going up into one of those saddles between the hoodoos, we were.

I can’t take all this beauty.

Sedona, you have to stop.
