The very polite raven lives on the Painted Desert in Arizona.
I had a nice conversation with the polite raven for a little while.
This is the Petrified Forest which lies on part of the Painted Desert about 80 miles south-east of Flagstaff, Arizona.
My husband and I took this trip in late September.
We enjoyed a beautiful "monsoon" sky over the desert.
These are the "tee pees," which are part of the Petrified Forest region of the Painted Desert.
The petrified wood is scattered here and there and VERY illegal to take out of the forest!
We found a nice petrified log to take photographs of each other...
...and this is Jerry.
The theme is the letter P this week.

Well hello Jerry! Well hello Jerry - it's so nice to have you back where you belong! lol! Sorry - couldn't help the outburst of an old song there!
Wonderful sunny photos - here it is dark, foggy and everything yucky! Thanks for the sunshine.

I believe I spent the night in Flagstaff on my way to the Grand Canyon! But didn't get a chance to see the Petrified Forest. Next time, for sure! Great photos...have a wonderful week! :D
Thanks for this precious tour there, your pictures are wonderful and I'm delighted here by so different landscape of this desert!
Hugs

Fantastic scenery from your trip. I enjoyed all of them very much. Great take on the letter P.
What an awesome place - thank you for sharing the beauty!
Positively lovely photos of the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. I haven't seen either one yet, but we'll get back to Arizona some day.

I just got back from the PFNP and had spent two weeks there! Isn't it grand? Got some great raven shots, perhaps from the same polite one that you got! He certainly did pose for me. It was all so perfect!
Its been so many years since I saw that wonderful scenery. I had forgotten how amazing the painted desert really is. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I loved your Pictures of the Petrified Forest, and the Painted Desert. Thanks for sharing. Great choice for P day.
I like the polite raven, Carolyn. There are many crows cawing where I live in BC and the rare raven that appears with its different sound is a joy to my ears.
The photos bring back plesant memories of being in the Painted Desert! Wonderful!
Well, hey there! Nice photos today! I have heard of the petrified forest actually, but I have never been there. Here's mine http://thelunaticsdiary.blogspot.com/2010/11/past-sketch-behe-mech.html
PRETTY part of the country where I've never been; someday...

It's been years since I've been to the Painted Desert so your pictures were nice reminders of the fun times I had.
the raven is a bit creepy...but the Painted Desert is so pretty.
When I was a kid I thought the Petrified Forest meant stone trees standing upright! I was so disappointed to find they were logs on the ground that looked like the surrounding rocks. LOL! Thanks for the memories.
That's just a lovely array of pictures! Love the picture of you and your hubby with the petrified wood.
Nice P post.
Humongous is how I'd describe that last petrified log that you took photos by. Great shots of a beautiful area.
Perfect p's. Photographs are superb!
Nice to see some more photos of that gorgeous area Carolyn. Love that one of the tee pees ! Beautiful skies there too.
perfect photography.

I agree with Mrs Nesbitt, thanks for the sunshine!
Cool raven! And he was polite too!
Lovely shots from an amazing landscape. That wood must be very, very old if it has turned into stone.
Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I hadn't been there since I was a kid. Nice photos.
Wonderful set of pictures, thr raven image look magnificent and you both look great!
Wow! A great place for photo opportunities! Just love the mountains!
I love your photos of the petrified forest and painted desert. I have never been to Arizona, but did live in New Mexico for several months. The southwest is beautiful!
Have only seen the desert from afar, as in a plane ride view or from the outskirts of a city. Lovely photos!
cool P. post. I like the colorful rocks you chose to take your pictures by too.
Pretty painted and petrified place!

Great photos Carolyn! I see you are still going strong on playing the photo memes. I miss it so much. Life just hasn't been cooperating with allowing me to have any kind of hobbies anymore.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I've missed you!
I recognize that Raven!!! Nice photos Carolyn111
I like the tee pees. Is there any room for me to share with you fopr the night? LOL
I have heard of the petrified forest, but I have never see how it looks. It is interesting! I am happy that you and Jerry are in good shape!!
