... and then we came across another one.
And of course, I had to get our fuzzy little love to pose by it.
More Sedona pics coming on the next See Beautiful hop. (Which I'll hopefully remember!)
Thanks to BlogPaws for hosting Wordless Wednesday! Thank you for letting me be wordy! You can check out all the blogs in the hop here.
How cool is that! I thought the pictures from Monday looked like Sedona! I love that area so much. Although I grew up in the midwest, most of my mom's family is in CA. My grandparents ran art camps on Mingus Mountain (near Sedona) and I used to go every summer as a kid. I hadn't been back to the Sedona area in a long time, but then a few years ago I took my husband and daughter. Such an amazing and beautiful part of the country. More than you wanted to know - LOL, but I really love it out there!
ReplyDeleteThat's neat that you used to go there as a kid. It really is so beautiful. We even started looking at real estate online - but the hubs had some bad allergies while we were there so many not a great idea for us to move there.
DeleteCareful you don't get too close, those cactus pricklers are painful I hear. Mom has dealt with them and it was not fun she says.
ReplyDeleteShe really had no fear of those cacti and would walk right up to them. She managed to not get poked though.
DeleteVery cool cactus and pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love cacti! We saw a lot of neat cacti and plants there.
DeletePrickly Heart....sounds like the title to a country song...
ReplyDeleteI was smitten by a prickly heart
Boy did that ever smart
Had I known how bad it would feel
That prickly heart of yours I would never steal
LOL!
Hahaha. Love your spontaneous lyrics!
DeleteI wish I'd known you had a prickly heart
You should have warned me from the start
If I'd known how prickly your heart grows
I wouldna tried to get so close!
What a pawsome looking cactus!
ReplyDeleteI saw the 2nd one at the top of a STEEP hill. I was all too happy to see it so I had an excuse to stop and catch my breath. "Hey, wait. I have to take pics of this cactus!"
DeleteLove those prickly heart cacti and Taryn's song lyrics :-)
ReplyDeleteI added a 2nd verse. :)
DeleteAw love the last photo of Rita - she looks very pleased to be posing with a valentine cactus.
ReplyDeleteShe loves to be out walking/hiking!
DeleteThe camera loves Rita and she seems to love the camera. Maybe a modeling gig will come along. My dogs see a camera and go hide.
ReplyDeleteShe actually hates the camera! She usually looks away. I got lucky with that shot. There were several other blooper shots!
DeleteWhat a cute picture. Cassius would probably try to eat it. You should make a Rita calendar - she takes such great pics.
ReplyDeleteShoot. Wish I'd thought of that sooner! I could have done a calendar of her for the hubs! Maybe next year...
DeleteAhh...that is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love those prickly pear cactus, simply because they do grow heart shaped quite frequently.
ReplyDeleteI also love the colors on some of them. We saw so many purple and rusty-red ones. Very cool.
DeleteHow interesting do these look!
ReplyDeletegreat smile
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures but Rita looks too close to that cactus for comfort! Love Doly
ReplyDeleteAh, that last picture is adorable!! I really have to slow down and start noticing more things like that when we're out walking.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to come across those, they are beautiful. I can't believe Rita didn't poke herself my gang would try and grab it.
ReplyDeletethey're enormous! Cool Valentine idea too. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteWhat cool finds, and of course Rita had to pose next to one. But of course, she is a sweetheart, not a prickly heart! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Nature is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't nature in all her glory just A-Mazzing. Thanks so much for sharing her with us
