K-Spy,

This, this is the moment I realized that to achieve inner peace and happiness is to understand that I am insignificant, a mere speck just passing through.

K-Spy, according to Mark Marlett, the oldest juniper in Oregon is estimated at 1,600 years old.

This juniper tree behind me is estimated at 1,400 years old. If only its bark can talk right? This area is protected. Considered fragile environment because of the native plant species that live here. One can only look not touch. But I took some, in my camera that is, so I could share them with you. :-D

To meet the ANCIENT locals up close and personal, special climbing permit is required to curve human traffic. The permit comes with a very knowledgable ranger guide so one can ask questions at one heart’s content. K-Spy, some of these guys are older than you, toyang and me combined. These species may appear dead but they are actually alive and keep regenerating itself.

This Juniper is estimated at 950 years old. Sorry utod tan-awa dakan an lambong nan iya dahon.

Inin sa ubos an dagnay "The crown of Jesus" waray dahon puro da dugi na amoamo da gayod agaw nan Jesus' crown of thorns. People on horseback have died when their horse get spooked by a rattlesnake and bolt madabas sila on top of this matosok an ila mga internal organs. By the time they're found, patay na from internal bleeding laong nan amo ranger guide (Stephen King know this? :-D ). He (ranger) also said that this guy (plant) is estimated at 100 years old hmmm... has he killed someone? 8-[ .

K-Spy,

Arty/artsy, is the flip side of Sedona.

The galleries are incredible. Bronze, glass, wood, and other metal sculptures scattered all over town. Here’s some:

In her hand is the most detailed sculpture of a butterfly. The head complete with antennae. The butterfly's color matches her dress.

We searched and searched for this. SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT!

Splendid….. Those shots bear panorama of tranquillity. I felt peace and serenity just by looking at them. So captivated I copied them in my folder and have them interchangeably as wallpaper in my work computer. Everyone who notices my desktop couldn’t help but ask about the picture.

Thanks for sharing them to us. Wonderful!!!!

BANG, dili tingali kami makalipot ngadto sa skiing place, kay an amo host mag blessing nan ila bag-o na condo. Tapos may iban pa na lugar na gusto niya ipakita kanamo. Pero sakto kaw Bang, winter place ya-on nan mga celebrities. I was there four years ago. I've seen Donald Trump with his daughter & 2 sons, Barbara Striesand, the Olson (twin) sister, Vanna White, the Hilton family with Zsa-Zsa Gabor, Paris in particular. Madayaway an iya bayho(Paris). amoda nan doll pero kaigi. Amo da nan tikling. Jay Leno was there too and of course the Kennedys ug uban pa. I met our very own Minnie Osmena-Stewart & her brother Sen. Serge Osmena. The Osmenas sat with us. I know Serge & his brod Tommy in Cebu way back then when they were not yet in power. I was misplaced. I don't belong there and I don't want either. Pero thankful gihapon ako sa opportunidad - amoda!!.
