On Wednesday, we drove with K and R out of town a bit to Red Rock Canyon. It’s amazing how close to the bright lights this National Conservation Area is. The colours are astounding; layers of reds,  yellows and grays and then the variety of green in the abundant flora. We even saw a (too) friendly chipmunk looking to be fed for his participation in a photo opportunity (strictly against the rules – the feeding, not the photos!). It would be fun to explore some of the other wild places in the area, like Valley of Fire State Park, where my sis and her fella spent the day at on thursday. Here are a few pics of Red Rock:
