dancing in hiking boots

We camped this past week at Camp Yavapines in Prescott, Arizona. Although much of our time was spent at meetings celebrating the Feast of the Tabernacles the last morning of our stay my husband and I took off adventuring around the campground. After a short time we saw our friend Jessie had climbed up to the top of a hill. Not to be outdone, we set out through the brush for the same hilltop.
The brush we climbed through was dry and the seeds and stickers from the weeds quickly found their way into my boots..... a stop to clean the pickers off my socks was necessary.

There were interesting things to discover.... lots of colors of rocks and colorful lichen growing on them...

as well as the typically camera shy lizzards...

not to mention a rugged mountain man posing at the top of the hill.
