somewhere just to the left of the middle

here in Sedona, Arizona

there are lots of junipers

some interesting oaks [i think the one i spotted was Quercus turbinella]

hills that look like painted backdrops on movie lots

and many red stones

the houses look as though they might be adobe

but when you get close enough to tap the walls

they sound hollow. that ain't no mud.

drifting along highway 89a after work the other night

i noticed some radical pruning [ie to ground height]

of the roses in front of the Red Planet Diner

so i liberated some of the leaves
