Wash, wadi, arroyo

A friend and I did a hike in Palisade this morning. It goes up, up and then there is a loop at the top. This is the fabulous view from the top, towards the west, with the Colorado River and the rest of Grand Junction.

On the loop we look for these:

Petroglyphs! And the bottom one really looks like an elk. Most looked like deer.

I also found this site, about the difference between a wash, a wadi and an arroyo. https://seethesouthwest.com/what-is-the-difference-between-an-arroyo-a-wash-and-a-wadi/

This is the canyon on our right on the way down, but I would bet that there is a wash at the base. These amazing mesas and rocks are carved by water and time.

And here is the mesa across from us to the north, from the top again.

dust elefinks

I am spring cleaning in spurts and rearranging things. Amazing what you find. I found a mix tape someone made for my ex when he turned 50. It cracks me up.

I cleaned the top of the fridge. The dust bunnies were taken by surprise and dust elephants too. “Help,” shouted the dust bunnies. “Help,” shouted the dust elephants. Hopefully they have gone to a better place. At any rate, they aren’t on the fridge any more.

It’s raining out, today and yesterday. Time to clean and rearrange and put things in the get rid of it pile. Time and time.

water to wash

Happy things from A to Z, the letter W. W for water, wet and wash!

We were very excited about the green turtles in Hawaii. But we photograph birds too:

Down by the water, checking it out. Then the featured post, bathing in the sea. And a clean wet bird:

We think this is a yellow billed cardinal, originally introduced from Brazil, here.
