Everything glowed today, and the photos just don’t show it.

Finally left my Yarnell home at 11:30am. I’m really not a morning person but had planned for a little earlier. Oh well, got to visiting with Berta and the morning flew by.  Eventually I hit the road, US 89A North through Prescott and Jerome, into the glow of Verde Valley and Sedona, up the winding Oak Creek canyon, then east of Flagstaff to Meteor Crater.

Sorry about the windshield reflection
Just a tiny bit of snow to glow on the Bradshaw Mountains south of Prescott.

Headed up over the Black Mountains… (The junipers glowed in the sun.)

…and down…

through Jerome, an adorable old mining tourist town clinging to the mountain side.

Continued down into the Verde Valley and the whole valley seemed to glow.

North through Sedona, too rich for me to stop in. Yet the red rocks had a glow all their own.

I was driving a curvy road
Followed Oak Creek winding up the canyon through some amazing rock layers.

Oak Cree Canyon
I felt surrounded by a glow.

Topped out into a Ponderosa Pine forest. They always glow for me.

East of Flagstaff the glowing golden land stretches far.
Now here I sit at the Meteor Crater RV Park try repeatedly to post so I can start reading your blogs. This WIFI keeps knocking me around, sometimes slower than dial-up.
Tomorrow, the Crater.
I’m all aglow.
