World Bird Sanctuary

Been meaning to get out to this place, the World Bird Sanctuary, for months.  Well, a friend of mine and I finally made it.  It sits at the entrance of Lone Elk Park.  We enjoyed walking and viewing the variety of birds, some in cages and others strapped but out in the open.  If you are looking for a day trip with the kids, this would be great.  I don't remember what all of them were called.

Sedona, Arizona - God's Masterpiece

I'm amazed at how awe-inspiring this place is every time I go.  Sometimes I just wish we could drop everything, pack our bags, and go live there permanently.  And after 5 trips, you'd think it would lose it's specialness, but it doesn't.  When we pull around the bend that reveals the valley, my heart races and it's like seeing it for the first time all over again.  I don't understand the significance or the emotional draw of Sedona, but I know that God has placed this place in my heart.  It calls to me and I always leave wanting to go back!

 

 

Grand Canyon South Rim

A year ago we invited my parents on a trip to our favorite place, Sedona, AZ.  We wanted them to experience the wonder and awesomeness of this special place.  For a year we anticipated this trip.  Our first stop was the Grand Canyon South Rim.  We stayed at a hotel in Flagstaff and got up the next morning, taking the bus around the rim stops.  The day was perfect...not too hot, blue skies and big white clouds.  I'll let the photos speak for themselves...it was beautiful!
