Another agave update from Sedona. Have a good night.
2 tall century plants with their bases in shadow and tops in sunlight.  Beyond them is a redrock ridge beneath blue sky with a few scattered clouds.

No, there’s no airline service to Sedona, just private planes. American flies to Flagstaff (a great little airport with rental cars) from Phx and DFW. It’s a scenic 28-mile drive from Flag to Sedona, or 125 miles from Phx.

Some towering clouds in Sedona. Have a good afternoon.
Big, fluffy white clouds in blue sky above a redrock ridge, with green trees below.

Sedona after the rain. Have a good night.
A wet redrock wash under a partly cloudy sky, with green trees and redrock monoliths in the distance.

Fun clouds in Sedona this morning. Have a good day.
Dappled white clouds fill the blue sky above a red-and-gray rocky ridge, beyond a row of green trees.

Safe 6 for me. After 4, there was a questionable word that could possibly be the answer. Guess 5 confirmed the true Wordle and excluded the pretender. Wordle 1,935 6/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Eliminating so many letters was frustrating but made the answer obvious once I had the first letter. A very nervous sea of greens! Wordle 1,932 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Pesky yellows took a while to pin down. Then I began to wonder if the answer was a word I’d never heard of, until I hit the right letter. Wordle 1,930 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

When you realize the building you’re demolishing is a former bank.
A concrete vault with a heavy steel door is all that remains of a building being demolished.  There’s a large tree behind it and a yellow tracked vehicle to the left.

A misty morning in Sedona, as we begin to dry out after all the rain. Have a good day.
Dark redrock monoliths enveloped in mist, framed by the silhouettes of nearby trees.

After 1.8 inches of rain in Sedona, a rainbow. Have a good evening.
A rainbow arcs from top left to bottom right in a gray sky, above distant red rocks and nearby trees.

Moonrise in Sedona. The iPhone camera can’t handle a full moon, but it’s still an interesting shot. Have a good night.
The full moon is a yellow blob just above a redrock pinnacle, seen through thin clouds in a pale blue sky.

By request, here’s an agave update from Sedona. Zoom in to spot the bird. Have a good day.
On the left are two tall century plants.  Behind them and to the right is the redrock ridge of Wilson Mountain.  There is a bird perched on the right agave.

Sunrise in the days around the equinox are always interesting from here in Sedona. Have a good day.
The sun is a vague orange-yellow ball partly behind a redrock silhouette just after sunrise.  There is another pointy redrock silhouette to the left, and a gray banded sky above.

A little sunlight breaks through the clouds at the end of the day in Sedona. Have a good night.
Late afternoon sunlight makes redrock formations glow red, under a gray-blue sky, framed by silhouetted trees.
