Orenda Ayashe

It is the center of attraction along 179! My favorite of the area rocks and mesas.

At any time of the day and at any angle, Bell Rock, along with the others is quite grand!

Here's the (much discussed) first photo that peers said looks like a vortex between me and the camera. The shape is caused by light hitting the lense.

I've read that vortexes (or vortices) are all over the Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon area. Although this is a camera anomoly, I imagine that this is similar to what vortexes actually look like.

You'd think after a week of seeing them everywhere that I'd not still be so amused! But hey, they're just cool.

https://sedonanewagestore.com/ I knew about this store before my trip and made a point to pop in. Friendly and packed full of crystals, jewelry, books and a board full of psychics from whom one may get a reading.

I love the entryway to this sort of "mini-mall" of goodies! Can you say "Tlaquepaque" three times fast?

I was intrigued by this statue simply because it is the same representation for my sign (Aquarius, The Water Bearer). Seeing this added to the list of uncanny occurrences that meant something to me personally during my stay.

www.exposuresfineart.com How nice that in a sunny climate the outdoor pieces bask in light all day.

This is a high ranking art gallery and the pieces were absolutely gorgeous. All were of southwest genre, skillfully done and the sales reps were friendly and knowledgable! Great establishment!

While waiting for my flight home, I watched the dawn rise outside the airport window.

A rare perspective of our favorite mountain, capped with a cloud. Majestic as always.
