Sedona Photo Tour

Arrived in Sedona April 14th, 2011

We have arrived safe in Sedona and for all those who joined us the last time here I’m sad to report it was a one gate only experience.

The weather here topped out in the 80’s today and after lunch we spent some time photographing cactus enroute to Sedona.  We are currently getting settled into our hotel and preparing to go out for a sun set shoot.  We are three hours behind Ontario time.

Will post a few more images when we return from sunset and dinner, but here are a few for you to look at from our journey and while out and about today.

Dave, Paul our Great Canadian Coach Driver and James set to go ...

This evening we visited Bell Rock for Sunset Images, the orange glow in the sky added to the beauty of the shots.

That's it for this evening folks.  It's been a great day with many shots added to the memory cards.  Tomorrow we are headed to Oak Creek Canyon in the morning, and West Fork Canyon in the afternoon.

Well, it's about time. :0) I've been waiting for my daily entertainment. Dave, can you get a shot of Jamie sitting on one of those cacti? Sounds like you're off to a great start despite the lack of aerobic exercise at the airport.

Wow!!! I'll enjoy this blog!!

I'm home now from hospital with one final dosage of IV antibiotics, actually though the port-a-cath. Doing fine and great to be home. Lousy weather Saturday in the forecast but I'm looking forward to it.

Will await the next entry with bated breath!!

Dave and Jamie, Lighten up on your photo time in front of the camera. You look pretty dour compared to your driver Paul. Otherwise, I am quite entertained and informed by your blogs. You are spreading the cheer to the far reaches. Have a great trip.
