Short Miles In A Long Day...Postcards Nobody Would Buy Unless They Were Looking For Existential Clues To The Universe


PAINTED DESERT--Besides the beautiful, colored sand and the petrified logs out here, there are a few petroglyphs. This was one of my favorites. I think it is a roadrunner with a toad in his mouth. I have seen roadrunners pick up lizards and slam them to the ground over and over to kill them. Maybe this was the same kind of thing.

That's pretty funny - at first I thought it was a giant bird and a little man... hmmm the environment getting back at us! Ah, but back then perhaps it was different...

I was looking at some bird books and I believe that the bird is an Ibis, not a roadrunner.
