I was anticipating sunrise photo opportunities yesterday, but the fog stuck around. However, Kansas City AeroSports was on the scene taking promotional photos. Love these hot air balloons!

Walnut Canyon National Monument (Hopi: Wupatupqa) is a United States National Monument located about 10 mi (16 km) southeast of downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, near Interstate 40. The canyon rim elevation is 6,690 ft (2,040 m); the canyon's floor is 350 ft (110 m) lower. A 0.9 mi (1.4 km) long loop trail descends 185 ft (56 m) into the canyon passing 25 cliff dwelling rooms constructed by the Sinagua, a pre-Columbian cultural group that lived in Walnut Canyon from about 1100 to 1250 AD. Other contemporary habitations of the Sinagua people are preserved in the nearby Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle national monuments.

Every time I worked a nursing assignment in Rio Rancho, NM, we made it a point to visit the Bosques. Here are a handful of images captured several months apart.

I like to explore abandoned places when I can find the time. I came across this when travelling to Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge this past January.

About a year ago, we detoured to this area of Kansas when returning home from a trip. This had been a bucket-list item for me.

Monument Rocks, also known as the Chalk Pyramids, are a striking series of towering chalk monoliths rising up to 70 feet out of the flat prairie of Gove County, Western Kansas. Designated as the state's very first National Natural Landmark in 1968, these prehistoric formations were created 80 million years ago. They are the skeletal remains of microscopic marine organisms deposited when the area was entirely submerged beneath the ancient Western Interior Seaway.
