Hiking Petra
Hiking Petra is an electrifying experience! Although the landscape seems stark…it’s alive with energy! Over the course of two days, I was able to hike for miles through the ancient grounds, high into the rock formations. These horse and buggies are available for those that aren’t able or don’t want to walk.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Water
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is new to me! I think I’m becoming addicted to these challenges. I find it so much fun to look through my photos and organize them according to categories.
