Day 41 - Jim Thompson

Wendy in her private Zen Garden.

Wendy regards the guardian tree who regards her.

The Jim Thompson Heritage Toll Gate. All cats were required to pay a toll to pass here.

The toll gate looks meager in relation to it's surrounds - but oh - so much power.

A pointer to the red rocks.

A last splash of sunshine on the peaks.

The Renewed Topographics - Jim Thompson Trail 2025

Russ proudly shows off his personally crafted red rock sit upon.

We started this trail under a layer of high cloud. Then the sun broke through with the usual sedona blue skies. Next - and suddenly - blue gives way to dark and ominous.

..... even more ominous .....

The prickly pear are concerned .....

.... trees develop massive hive like blisters in a fear response to the upcomimg angry cloud threat.
