9. Oh, thank you so much for your kind words!

That experience was unbelievably extra surprise!

For me the amazing forms, and colors of the MV itself as the day made it's way towards sunset; changing - a place I'd been entranced with for years from photos was transcendent.

Even traveling gently upward from the tree, pine filled roadways layered in grass of the lower areas of the mountains The San Fransisco Peaks above Flagstaff; as we descended the grass changed to scrubs, and sand toward the High Desert that had called to me through photos - revealed some of it's colors in the further distance: beiges, orchers, pale purples etc - that sense of transcendence wrapped around me. Filled me with wonderment!
