Sprouse Family: Oak Creek Sedona Family Photography

Busy old fool, unruly sun,

               Why dost thou thus.

Through windows, and through curtains call on us?

Must to thy motions lovers’ seasons run?

               Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide.

               Late school boys and sour prentices,

         Go tell court huntsmen that the king will ride.

         Call country ants to harvest offices,

Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,

Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

               Thy beams, so reverend and strong.

               Why shouldst thou think?

I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,

But that I would not lose her sight so long.

               If her eyes have not blinded thine.

               Look, and tomorrow late, tell me,

         Whether both th’ Indias of spice and mine.

         Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.

Ask for those kings whom thou saw’st yesterday,

And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.

Oak Creek Sedona Family Photography: The Location…

Sedona, including its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for its combination of size, depth, and exposed layers of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. The canyon itself was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted, causing the Colorado River system to develop along its present path.

The primary public areas of the park are the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon itself. The rest of the park is extremely rugged and remote, although many places are accessible by pack trail and backcountry roads. Only the Navajo Bridge near Page connects the rims by road in Arizona; this journey can take around five hours by car. Otherwise, the two rims of the Canyon are connected via the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and the Hoover Dam.
