Nice Pics

Looks like a good day to stay in the shop.

We only have about 2 1/2 months left of snow to go !

Nice composition on the pics.

Beautiful pics, Edz! That stuff was supposed to hit us today, so far nothing but clouds and a bit of wind.

We were there a few years ago in the spring. We stayed at a resort called Los Abrigados. AWESOME! The whole Oak Creek Canyon area is stunning.

I went thru there for the first time about 25 years ago. The place is just stunning. I became a subscriber to Arizona Highways for a few years after that and used their wall calendar for quite a while. AZ is a beautiful place and Sedona is at the top of the list.

Sedona has to be one of the most picturesque places on earth...but I have to say that I never thought that I would see it covered in snow. It's still very beautiful, thanks for sharing the pics.

A problem with living in a picturesque town is the lack of shopping and medical. Not that I’d like a Wal-Mart here but I have to go 25 miles to the nearest Home Depot.

Of course, you guys in BC and Alberta have a beautiful countryside as well. It took me forever to drive the “ice highway” as I was stopping at every turn to take pictures.

Most all of the snow melted by noon; that’s enough time to take in the beauty/contrast but minus the safety and cleanup issues. Below is a picture of my house; it’s behind the Mesquite trees. I spent all afternoon cutting up limbs that broke due to the weight of the snow.

We had a really big snow around Christmas, I was busily running around knocking snow off the pine tree branches before they snapped. I'm surprised the damage it did to native plants like chamisa and sage, you'd think they would be able to take it, but I fear most of them are goners. They're the bulk of my "landscaping", too.
