And we are going back to our winter break in Arizona. For a quick recap we started our trip in Page then headed to Vegas . We took a day trip to Valley of Fire and are now on our way back to Arizona, to the beautiful city of Sedona.                           We took a five hour drive from Vegas to Sedona and drove straight to Bell Rock for our first hike. I had initially planned on walking the 3.6 mile Courthouse Butte/Bell Rock loop but we weren't going to be able to wrap it up by sundown and my kids were more interested in climbing than walking. We paid the Red Rock Pass in the parking lot $5 or you can park for free in you have the America the Beautiful pass. Then we climbed. You can check out the reel here.  The best thing about Bell Rock is that you can make it as challenging as you like.

                               Another hand photograph from the archives. This one was taken in Karachi, Pakistan. This photograph is of Sakina, our maid at that time. A fact that surprises some is that most people in 3rd world countries have maids. I went to her home where she ground herbs between two rocks. She is wearing glass bangles and her nail are colored orange with a henna, an alternative to nail polish.  This print can be purchased here .                                       Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle  

                            The Mirror by Nora Roberts Synopsis -  When Sonya MacTavish inherits the huge Victorian mansion on the coast of Maine, she has no idea that the house is haunted. The footsteps she hears at night, the doors slamming, the music playing, are not figments of her imagination. In her dreams she sees glimpses of the past. In the present she finds portraits of brides. And when she has visions of an antique mirror, she is drawn to it, sensing it holds dark family secrets. Then one night the mirror appears and Sonya glides through this looking glass, into the past—and sees a bride murdered on her wedding day, the circle of gold torn from her finger. It is a scene that will play out again and again—a centuries-old curse that must be broken—and a puzzle she must solve if there is any hope of breaking the curse. Thoughts -  This is book two in the Lost Brides Trilogy. I really enjoyed book one...
