Photo of the Month: February

Mar 13

I had a great time out in the desert last month.  We spent a long weekend out at Yaqui Well and saw a lot of beautiful scenery while were were out hiking and Jeeping.  Yaqui Well was at one point a stop over point for stagecoaches to water up themselves and their horses, that is according to the Journal of San Diego history.  You can read more about stagecoaches and mule freighters here. The highlight of the weekend was our day hike in Slot Canyon.  Morris, our guide for the day took us out to this location to go crawl in and around the rocks in this really beautiful canyon.  The light was just right but I really wish I had packed my tripod.  I plan on going back at some point to get some more shots at this location, since the canyon here was simply beautiful.  February’s photo of the month was my favorite shot.  The lines in the photo make me want to go running into the back of the photo to see what’s around the corner.
