of canyons and emus

Apr 2017 emus web (5 of 5)

The first day of our California trip took us through a bit of Arizona and some….. sparsely populated places. The canyons were incredible, soaring up high above us as we wound our way through.  Also, I should clean the windshield before I take pictures through it.

We stopped for gas at a little hole in the wall place in the middle of nowhere.  In the middle of nowhere, across from a gas station, there is a petting zoo.  At the petting zoo, across from the gas station, there are some emus.  (you were dying to know how this comes together right?) So, none of it made sense but you can be sure I made the mister pull over.  

This is him thinking something to the effect of, "She seriously wants to go over across the road to see the emus in the junkyard petting zoo?  Silly question.  Of course she does."

Of course I did!  You've gotta admit they are some of the creepiest semi-domestic creatures ever.  So much attitude.

  1. Looks like those emus were posing nicely too. I miss road trips. My dad was a traveling sales man and during the summer he took the family with. Those were the best of times. My kids hate long drives. Makes me sad.
