Nature Hike Down Fossil Creek Rd

Today we went with Mr. Bill down Fossil Creek road, just up a couple miles from where we live. Arizona never ceases to amaze me with its vast diversity! He took us to see the “tipi’s” which were formed millions of years ago under water. The formations are called fumeroles which are hot water and air vents. There are still hot springs nearby, but we didn’t go there. Being in this area felt eerie and like we were on a different planet.
Phlox
Lichen on the rocks (pronounced Lie-kin)
Strange formations
Hiking with Mr. Bill
Josiah going up the winding staircase
A Praying Mantis Cocoon. Lots of tiny Praying Mantis's will crawl out of this cocoon
Framed
Eating Red Dock. Mr. Bill says its like rhubarb. Well, I've never had rhubarb, so my oppinion is that its like celery because its stringy, only a bit sour.
