After years of never tampering with my photos I've been posting images on Instagram and really going to town with the filters. Still take 'proper' photos of course.<br /><br />I will look at your other set in the next day or two.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754825352501477029.post-88073607697727391792013-05-15T15:46:39.918+01:002013-05-15T15:46:39.918+01:00Thanks Neil :-)) You are advised to 'get your ...Thanks Neil :-)) You are advised to 'get your kicks', there are some fabulous places to see along the old Route 66.

Feeding of the squirrels is discouraged by the park rangers, for two reasons.....firstly to avoid people getting a bite which get badly infected (or rabid maybe?)....and also to ensure they do not become 'domesticated'.

It is accurately based on true Hopi native-American designs. It is now used as an outlet for the wares of many of the local Native Americans. Their pottery and jewellery is absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />I was surprised by the colours in the petrified wood, too. I'd never seen any like that before. I didn't do any adjustments to the photo of the petrified wood. The only shots I did any editing on were the shots of the actual canyon itself. For that I used a combination of Olympus software that came with my camera, and Picasa. <br /><br />MitchyLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423634734890422795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754825352501477029.post-83123356905858202512013-05-08T14:57:59.973+01:002013-05-08T14:57:59.973+01:00Hi, Benni here.

I, too, am fascinated by the petrified wood, especially the rosy bit. I hope you gave the squirrels a few morsels for posing so well.
