Watery Wednesday / Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona

This is Oak Creek Canyon that runs through Sedona, Arizona. It was late afternoon with the sun hiding behind the high rock walls creating a lot of shade down at the creek. The running water is rather low this time of year but is full in the spring and summer when the snow melts in the Flagstaff area north of here. I wish we could have been in this area one week earlier for even better fall colors...but, it's still better than southern California!

Monochrome Maniacs and The World in Black and White / Old Water Wheel in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona

This old water wheel is in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. I was part of the irrigation system of an old apple orchard just north of Sedona years ago. There are still a few apple trees left in the area, mostly for ornamental purposes.

Weekend Reflections / Slide Rock State Park, Arizona

These photographs were taken at Slide Rock State Park in Arizona. It is a natural water chute nestled in Oak Creek Canyon just outside of Sedona. The water is really cold, yet, some kids (about high school age) were entering the area at about 4:00 p.m. with their towels which indicates they were going to do what people do here...slide down the water chute! It is a very popular swimming area during the summer. But, late November...crazy! Despite "craziness" this area is a photographer's dream place! The red rock, the water, the fall colors, the reflections galore...it's amazing! My friend, Sally, is standing on the rock overlooking the reflections of the yellow Aspen trees (middle photo).
