As the craziness of life keeps us running and striving and worrying, downright fearful, and more, it might be time to consider slowing down and looking around. Our natural world has a way of forcing it on us via seasons. Is it time you paid closer attention to the lessons?

Near the western entrance of Valley of Fire State Park we find dark red Aztec sandstone. In the red rock nooks and crannies campsites are available and at this outcropping’s northern end is Atlatl Rock. Home to petroglyphs about 4,000 years old carved by unknown ancient tribes. Yes, these peoples lived sometime around 2,000 B.C. and we can only imagine their thoughts through their art. Let’s go!
Hello friend! It was a wonderful trip spending time with Sandhill Cranes this March. However, there was another site I know you’ll enjoy as much as I did. What a surprise to spend time with a flock of Mountain Bluebirds (Sialia currucoides). You cannot miss them hunting in the grasses. They clearly do not blend in.
This August Garden of the Gods has turned into a wonderland of yellow flowers even more so than usual. With all the rain this May and June and showers since then, not to mention many less 90+ degree days than the last few years, what beauty! Here we go . . .
