Postcard from Quartzite – A Petrified Rock


Note: This may be my last blog entry until the first week of May, although I will try to get one in here or there. Am off on one of my road trips, first escorting a friend on her first trip here to southern Arizona, then off to Chicago for 10 days. Am excited about that trip as I have never been there. Will try and do a couple blogs while there, but no promises as I am not sure of my connections yet. But I will try stay in touch, at least by Twitter and Facebook. – JRC

I’ve written about Quartzite, AZ here before, this little town of 7,500 people in the desert that gets about 1.5 million visitors a year. There is a rock shop there that I enjoy visiting with my camera. On one trip, the owner took me into the back to see a large collection of colorful petrified rocks, most of them from trees.

This is one such petrified tree I have not shown here before. I came across it while doing some photo reorganization in my computer. I love the colors of this one and am surprised that I never showed it here before. Anyway, just enjoy the colors and the patterns of this beautiful rock.
