Airport Loop Trail - Looking Back

Walking the Airport Loop Trail again through pencil and watercolors, as I look back over my days in Sedona. 

Reflections On Woods Canyon

Reflections on the creek running down Woods Canyon, Sedona - another page from my Arizona travel sketchbook.

Elephant Mountain North

Climbing the trail up the north side of Elephant Mountain, the trunk being the peak in the upper right corner, this is yet another page out of the travel sketchbook. 

Desert foothill hiking on overcast days is very comfortable, but the real treat is when sun breaks through the clouds* sending patches of light that scan across Earth's contours, as if an almighty being were seeking something with its celestial flashlight.

*"Sun Through Clouds" piano instrumental by Matthew Morgan - thank you for the inspiration.

Wilted Datura

Another page out of the Arizona travel sketchbook, this time portraying a wilted Datura blossom along a trail on the Spur Cross Ranch, a part of the Desert Foothills Land Trust.
