Wooly isn’t in the habit of taking photos of shoes since he isn’t much of a fashionista (just ask Raeski). However it does occasionally happen and I found a good one for a fun topic. The photo is taken at Canyon de Chelly overlooking Spider Rock.
There is also a Navajo legend that accompanies this photo. Spider Woman, one of the most important deities in Navajo lore, chose to live at the top of this rock. She had supernatural power at the time of creation. At that time monsters roamed the land and killed the Dine (the people). Because Spider Woman loved the people she found a way to destroy the monsters. She also taught the Navajo the art of weaving. Children are taught the white at the top of the rock are the bones of children who misbehaved. Maybe we should send our politicians there and let the Spider Woman take care of them.

This brings back fond memories of The Canyon. I love Spider Rock and its magic and all the secret places in the Canyon. I was able to camp out there earlier in the year, for a week, as guest of a Navajo family. Have written several posts on my blog about the Canyon, the Beauty Way, and more…
Thanks. The canyon is full of wonders and stunning views for each step you take.
beautiful—but it kind of makes me dizzy!
You should have been there!
What a view those shoes and feet are having. Great photos. 🙂
Thanks. Those are some daring shoes to hang over the edge like that. It’s over an 800 foot drop!
