After the morning's excitement - a visitation by a herd of about 20 javelinas three of whom stayed to eat the peanuts we had set out to attract jays - something we are going to have to modify as these critters have a reputation for getting rowdy - and we do not want to encourage such behavior -
we took a local hike around one of the many chimney rocks. It was only a couple of miles and 400 feet of elevation (we declined the paths that led higher in a couple places) it led into some rugged and insanely beautiful country.
Cockscomb, Doe Mountain (the flat mesa) and Bear mountain in the distance.
Harley leading onwards.

Some lovely photos here in our beautiful country. Got to spend a little time in Sedona a couple of Thanksgivings ago.... I love the muted yet intense hues that the Southwest provides. I was lucky (unlucky?) enough to see some javelinas in Tucson at Canyon Ranch a few years back. Scary looking dudes. Hope Harley left them alone.
