I have been out on the desert Tue through Thur. I found seven more petroglyphs on a local ranch.
This first pic shows four depictions of a lizard. The most distinct one is more than two feet long.
do you see the fourth? Up close I did not see it. Now, in this pic, sitting at home, I can see the faint lizard between the two most visible ones.
I did not realize it was a lizard until I picked this picture to post!
On another rock, I found this little guy near a path.
The two lower feet extend down into the shadow.
Near the metates I posted last year, I found this circle/square.
The above circle is probably less than a thousand years old because it is nice and bright. BUT..... on the same rock I found another petroglyph that even the rancher missed. This circle below, with a "plus sign" in the middle, must be VERY old as the desert varnish is re-claiming the rock under the pet. Do you see it? I suspect it is a few thousand years old. NEAT!
The rancher requests I not reveal the locations of these pets and I will honor that request. If you live in AZ, NM, Utah or southern CA, these things are all around you! Get off the couch, ditch the beer and chips, and get out there and find some! ╦╦C
