Sacred ground
Yesterday my husband and I took a horse back ride into a beautiful valley.
As we approached, two eagles soared overhead, one coming from the south and one from the north as if to guard the entrance.
The horses that we rode seemed to sense the power of the area.
This valley has been used by Native American peoples for thousands of years and is considered a sacred site. Although in modern times people have desecrated some of the ancient rock art that is abundant throughout the area, the site still holds great significance for some.
On this sacred ground, etiquette dictates that you should enter with a good heart, and with no ill intentions.
We stopped to let the horses rest and went for a walk to explore an area that we had never been in before.
It was a gorgeous sunny day with temperatures in the 40’s.
This valley is full of birds and fantastic rock pinnacles.
The views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking.
After exploring on foot we located some fantastic ancient pictographs, marveled at the vivid colors that still shine through after all this time, and let our imaginations run as to the stories behind this art.

I came across this normally shy little creature and sat on a rock only feet from this curious little one as he fearlessly inspected me.
After a while and several photographs, we heard something approaching and I watched as he hopped forward a few feet to get a better view of the possible intruder.
When he saw my husband coming back toward us, he looked back at me as if to say thank you for the time that we spent together in silence and disappeared back into his protective haven of rock and brush.
He is so cute i could just hug him …great shot..
