Navajo Nation.

This post is quite tardy, and I apologize to those who commented on previous posts to whom I owe a reply. I do have an excuse for my lack of participation in my normal operations. As it is being written, we are sailing on the Norwegian Star somewhere between Acapulco, Mexico and Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. The Internet access is available, but it is expensive on the ship. Besides I am “on vacation”, gathering material for future posts, visiting with family who are also traveling with us, and generally staying disconnected. For Photo Challenge #38, Ann-Christine asks us to share something weathered. She shares some of her selections here.

Due to the long upload times, I am sharing but a single photo captured on the Navajo Nation near the Utah/Arizona border. The Mittens are two of the many iconic formations found in the park. If you find yourself near the Arizona, New Mexico state line on I-40, plan a detour north to visit Monument Valley and while you are at it, stop at Chinle to visit Canyon De Chelly. You will see formations that are ancient and beautiful. You’ll be glad you did.

As I noted, I’m traveling, so I wrote several posts in advance, publishing them on schedule due to WordPress having a delayed publication feature. I am enjoying the freedom from the schedule, but being offline, I miss being able to respond quickly. I will be travelling through April 15.
