This is among my favorite of the Basketmaker Anasazi petroglyph panels along Chaco Wash, due to its whimsical nature. Maybe “whimsy” was the farthest thing from the artist’s intent but that panel never fails to bring a smile when I visit.

What do the glyphs symbolize? I’ve no clue. Yes, there’s clearly an anthropomorphic figure and a zoomorphic quadruped.

I'm a native coastal Californian transplanted to the foothills of the Cascades. Being near the mountains has afforded me the opportunity to become attuned to seasonal rhythms and infuse that sense of time and place into my nature photography. I love to take off on roads less traveled, especially when it means losing myself in some remote place until I feel like being found. My portfolio includes natural landscapes, wildlife portraits, botanical macros, vintage architecture, cool geological formations, ranch life and a sprinkling of eccentric oddities that captured my imagination. I invite you to take a moment to peruse my galleries and follow me on Twitter: @EclecticImages. I hope you'll find something that makes you smile! .
