'l t has been said and not with exaggeration or a hyperbole but with con siderable goo d sense
that "Arizona is a photographer's paradise!" So
much so, in fact, the good gentlemen who make
cameras and m ake film for those cameras should
bow in humble appreciation whenever they hear
the word "Arizona!" spoken. For them, it should
be a magic word for, however you spell it, it means
many, many pennies in th e till .
That Arizona is a scenic state cannot be
gainsaid. Our Grand Canyon, th e big daddy of all
canyons, is an elusive challenge for even the most
skilled practitioner of the photographer's craft,
and can be both a source of inspiration and despair
for anyone t rying to capture its true personality
on a piece of film . Sometimes the obvious is not
so obvious, sometimes the apparent is not so
apparent, sometimes w h a t may appear to be
simple and easy turns out to be intricate and
difficult. The photographer has many problems.

We have seen the Painted Desert baking in the

n person coming at the wrong time of the year may
"1, find our desert land very drab. That is especially
true if that person is accustomed to greener lands,
lands blessed with more moisture, lands in which the
sun does not play such a despotic role .
Please do not let the word "desert" disturb you.
Our desert is a living , vital , vibrant thing and all living
things in it, plant and animal, through centuries of
evolution, have adapted themselves not only to survive

but to flourish . That gray-green saguaro which
dominates a desert horizon is probably a hundred or
more years old and will probably be living with arms
majestically out-stretched long after all of us have
finished our pleasant stay on this wandering planet.
In our desert land, where the sun is omnipresent
and omnipotent, you have to be tough and tenacious
to survive. When you are properly equipped, survival
is easy and a joy.

' ~ ' ~A , '
"Gay are the Torches of Spring" DARWIN VAN CAMPEN
~ o the stranger, desert ways are strange ways, but
~ understanding comes on better acquaintanceship.
The mesquite tree , one of the largest of desert trees,
digs its roots so deep in the dry, desert soil that its root
structure is larger and more intricate than the trunks and
branches and leaves it displays above the ground. There
is a very simple explanation for this strange behavior: you
have to dig deep for moisture in a land where rains are sparse
and come infrequently. The mesquite is a deep digger and
~ J
is well rewarded for its efforts, enrichening the landscape
with fragile, purple blossoms in spring and not-so-fragile
bean pods in summer.
The ocotillo , one of the strangest of all desert dwellers,
has its own ways of surviving in the desert land. When the dry
spell sets in, it conveniently and wisely sheds its small leaves,
thereby preserving the moisture and strength stored in its
roots and in the long, graceful arms it displays to the casual
passerby, who may think he is viewing a plant whose life is

coming to an end. Such is not the case, however. When the
first rains of spring come, the ocotillo drinks avidly and
responds quickly to the welcome moisture. As if by magic
appear the tender green leaves on its branches and then
purple-red blossoms, as handsome a tribute to the gay season
as one could find anywhere .
The plump, sturdy, squat barrel cactus, a jewel of a
desert inhabitant, perhaps exemplifies as well as any of its
fellow relatives in the family of Cactaceae, the amazing
ability of these amazing plants to survive in the arid land.
It has a hide as tough as leather, which defies the hottest
sun to sap its moisture and it wears an armor of thorns to
give it more protection. It drinks greedily of the slightest
moisture which falls to earth in the form of rain or snow
and wisely stores what it drinks in its pithy interior.
So efficient is this child of the desert in surviving in
the arid land it can go months, even years, without a
drink of water.

n ife in the desert is a wondrous, miraculous thing,
1- but, perhaps, most wondrous and miraculous of
all is the transformation of drab desert land into a
veritable flower garden when rains come in winter
and early spring. This takes place not by happenstance
or haphazard chance but by the careful
blending of all Nature's wonderful nurturing tools
to give and sustain life. The rains must come at the
right time (some years they do not) to stir life's juices
in dormant seeds . When dormant seeds have
sprouted, hot, searing winds must take their mischief

elsewhere (some years, alas, these mischievous winds
are too much with us and our anticipated flower
display comes to naught.)
Ah! But when all things are right what beauty to
behold when drab, desert land is transformed into
a glorious flower garden under Spring's gentle and
magic touch. The usually dry, barren land is clothed
in a garb of many hues, radiantly beautiful, almost
awesome in its flowered splendor.
It doesn't happen every year but when it does
it's worth waiting and watching for.

and see less than most anyplace else on earth!"
A more careful observer encountered with this sage
remark: " There's more than meets the eye!" It all
depends on the observer!
In some three hours of not-too-fast driving a traveler
can feast his eyes on two of America's most magnificent
National Parks - Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest-two
of Nature's most grandiose creations. (Incidentally,
a few minutes of just "seeing" these wonders is
insufficient to feel and understand them, to appreciate
the wonders that time, weather, sun, storm and
cataclysmic earth movements have created. In these
areas one could linger for days in quiet contemplation
and still not be surfeited with the eternal delights of
two of Earth's true masterpieces.}

1~ etween Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest,
JO via U.S. 66, Arizona 180 or Arizona 64, in
three hours of not-too-fast driving, are literally
hundreds of interesting scenic places worthy to be
seen and explored . To seek out these hidden
surprises, of which we speak, one must have the
time and an inquisitive mind to delve deeply not
only into the pages of scenic superlatives but also
into the thick tomes of meteorology, geology,
anthropology, astronomy, zoology, ethnology,
paleontology, speleology and botany. This part of
our land of hidden surprises is a living textbook
into which one could bury himself for a week, a
month or even a year and still leave much to seek
out on a return trip. A casual glance at a map
pinpoints the better-known attractions such as
Meteor Crater, Sunset Crater, Wupatki National
Monument, Walnut Canyon National Monument,
and the Arizona Snow Bowl, just to name a few.
A few miles cover a lot of subjects.

1 f nfortunately, the hurried or hurrying traveler
\/l misses so much. A few leisurely miles off the
busy highway can be so revealing and rewarding.
At Leupp Corner, t~n miles east of Winslow, turn
north toward Leupp and Sunrise and then turn
east again, and in seventeen miles you come to
a road leading northward. You are off the paved
road, but you travel a road not particularly
difficult to traverse. North again, and in nine miles
you come to the historic Little Colorado River
and Grand Falls, a scenic jewel where the river
tumbles over ledges of sandstone on its way to
the sea. When the river runs full and wide, as it
J, "The Big Land - the Empty Land"
\J ARTHUR A. TWOMEY
does when rainstorms come to the high mountains,
Grand Falls are a symphony of brown, muddy
water and brown spray, bespeaking the might of
a little river turned angry and boiling mad.
Now you are in Navajo country, in a remote
and isolated world a few miles but seemingly a
few centuries away from where busy U.S. 66
carries the mid-twentieth century on its sleek and
chromed journey through what at first glance
seems to be an empty and a dull land. It isn't either
empty or dull. With just a little probing, you will
be surprised how full and interesting it is. It is a
land inviting more thoughtful exploring.

'\/1(\ hat we say about the stretch of road
J \_I between Petrified Forest and Grand
Canyon can describe almost any stretch of road
in our state. This is, indeed, a land of hidden
surprises. Take U.S . 89, for instance, between
Tucson and Nogales. The highway, itself, is a
model of modern highway engineering- wide,
straight, safe, expertly tailored for the fastest
automobile. In an hour, or a few minutes more,
this journey can be made without even ruffling the
arrow's feathers, but alas! how much you will miss.

This stretch of road is a journey through the
pages of history. At Tubae, if you will pause for a
few minutes, you'll find reminders of frontier days,
lusty days when men with courage and a vision
began to carve an empire out of an inhospitable
and often dangerous wilderness. At Tumacacori
Mission National Monument, just a few miles
down the road, thick, adobe walls whisper of days
when Spanish soldiers and priests brought Christian
civilization into a new and unknown land.
Roads are fun to travel, more fun to explore!

, n the early evening, just before night had blotted
(J' out the last light of the waning sun, the Navajo
father, protected against the cold wind with a heavy
blanket, came out of the ho gan and surveyed the
thre atening sky. He went to the corral to check the
sheep and found them snug and secure. He returned to
the hogan and inside there was the rich odor of cedar
logs, of which the hogan was built, and the fragrance
of good things cooking on the fire. He said to his wife:
"Tonight, the first snow will come!" He didn't need
any radio reports from the U. S. Weather Bureau to
tell him about the wea th er. The weather was his
constant companion, he lived with it as an intima te
friend, good or bad, and accepted it for its vi rtues
and faults . A child of Nature, our Navajo knew
Nature's ways and accepted them patiently and
s toically, for such was the ways of God and man .
Our Navajo was a wise man.
"Mt. Lemmon Winterscape" DARWIN VAN CAMPEN
~ hat night the storm, for which the dark clouds
~ and the wind had been harbingers, came in
from the north on silent, stealthy feet. It had had
a busy day in Southern Utah, clothing, in white, lofty
mountain peaks and then, as night came, moved
majestically into Northern Arizona, leaving white,
frigid calling cards over the Lukachukais, the
Chuskas and the Carrizos in the northeastern part of
the Navajo Indian Reservation. All night it snowed,
and just before morning came, the storm moved
southward to finally expend its strength in the allencompassing
embrace of the White Mountains. As
the storm moved along, it left all the world in
a garment of white .
In the Navajo hogan, as the storm passed, all was
secure and warm, the family sleeping serenely in their
beds of sheepskins and ·heavy, woolen blankets . All
night the coals of the fire glowed in friendly comfort,
giving warmth against the cold of night.
When the first rays of the sun appeared above the
horizon, the Navajo father went out to greet the new
day. The world that greeted him was a world of
winter white, winter bright, the sun turning the newly
fallen snow into a carpet of glistening diamonds. His
sheep were huddled to g ether in mutual warmth
a gainst the cold. The Navajo found his world g ood.
On his return to the hog an, he told the Navajo
mother, who was busy with the morning meal, "Last
night the snow came!" She answered, "That is good!
When the snow comes in winter, the grass will come
in the spring, and the sheep will grow big, fat
and healthy."
