You guys out west have the best rocks! I'm jealous; we don't have anything like that in New York.

I love those shots! The third one looks like a dinosaur head. =)

Christine Rains said...

Awesome pics! Here's to more adventures. Next week is my son's last week of school too. :) Thanks for the links.

Just amazing how nature stacked those.

You don't really need words for these stones, do you? Beautiful is the best I can do.

I love the pictures, although I always feel a bit nervous around rock formations like that. It'd be just my luck that they'd fall when I'm around them. Heh!

Susan Kane said...

At Sedona? Where? The rock formations with the red striation
are amazing.

Great rock shots!

I would love to visit there again. Our adventure was cut short when a thunderstorm rolled in.

Hi human, Shannon,

Those are quite the rock formations. Remind me of the rock formations near where I live called, "The Roaches."

Hope your kids have a fun time and you also.

I note a link about, "Grain." My human used to work for the Canadian Grain Commission.

Pawsitive wishes,

Penny! :)

Ok, now I'm inexplicably hungery:)

John Wiswell said...

I've been eyeing Lackington's! And those are some lovely rock formations. They remind me a bit of hamburgers...

Shannon Lawrence said...

I bet there are plenty of other cool things in New York!

Shannon Lawrence said...

It does, doesn't it?

Shannon Lawrence said...

I hope you guys have a fun summer!

Shannon Lawrence said...

It's fascinating to read how it happens. There was quite a bit of upheaval around here a long time ago.

Shannon Lawrence said...

No words necessary!

Shannon Lawrence said...

I could make a really bad joke about boy scout leaders in reply, but I won't. ;)

This was at Garden of the Gods here in Colorado Springs. I love to see the variations in these rocks.

Shannon Lawrence said...

Thanks!

Shannon Lawrence said...

Oh no! We do get a lot of thunderstorms here during summer. It's a good thing when it keeps the fires away.

Shannon Lawrence said...

They have fantastic coloring, don't they? And the closer you get, the more layers you see.

Shannon Lawrence said...

Do they look like roaches?

Shannon Lawrence said...

Ha! Burger rocks.

Shannon Lawrence said...

You're not the only one!

Actually, it's named from the French les roches - the rocks).
