Petrified Wood

Ancient groves of redwoods, the painted desert and petrified forests extend across Arizona and New Mexico. While tourists are flocking to the National Park area, I am fortunate enough to explore my extended neighborhood that still holds many hidden areas of this geological time frame, and lets me join the solitude and utter silence of this vast desertscape.
