Dock (Rumex sp.) soaking up some welcome moisture. #PinkMon #ColorADay #Hiking 🌿

Oh, to be so stylish. #OrangeSun #ColorADay

Ugh, the headlines. I did enjoy a brief respite this morning. #ShotsInSlots #hiking #landscapes

Reflections along the Sevier River in southern Utah. I hope you all have a peaceful day! #GreenSat #ColorADay #hiking

Friday is #scape day, so here's one of my favorites from this week's rambles - looking down on the Paria River where it cuts through The Cockscomb on its way to the Colorado. #hiking #landscapes

A gorgeous morning on the upper Paria River near Kanab, UT. #BlueTue #ColorADay #hiking #landscapes

Canyon walls near Bluff,UT. If you walk to the head of this canyon, you'll discover cliff dwellings - though that's true of nearly every canyon in the area. #PinkMon #ColorADay #hiking

Is it possible to have too many #ShotsInSlots ??? Nah...here's a shallow slot in the mid-Jurassic Entrada Formation. I hope you all find something to keep yourselves sane today. #Stunday

It must be time for #ShotsInSlots - a beautiful morning, with more than a hint of fall in the air. #hiking #landscapes

A walk through the Triassic Chinle Formation near Kanab, UT. #BlueSkyArtShow #angles #landscape #hiking

It's called the Waterpocket Fold for good reason. #YellowThu #ColorADay #hiking #landscape

A canyon, a sky, a raven. #BlueTue #ColorADay

Happy #BlueSkyMonday

Evening at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I hope you all have the best possible Sunday! #Stunday

Every day I thank my lucky stars that I live where I do. Most people would call it the middle of nowhere; I call it Paradise. #home #landscape

A friend was kind enough to share this photo she took when we did a day trip down the lower Paria River last fall. #ShotsInSlots #GreenSat #hiking #landscape

#ForestFriday with something kind of spectacular in the background. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one of my all-time favorite movies.

For #BWFri - A canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson. #ColorADay #landscape #hiking #mountains

I hope you all have a peaceful evening.

In the hellscape that our country has become, I feel a moment of happiness sharing photos of the world's natural beauty. I hope these rabbitbrush blooms reaching for the sky give you a moment of happiness as well. #YelloThu #ColorADay #hiking #landscape 🌿

Come back in a million years or so and you'll have yourself a proper slot canyon. #ShotsInSlots #hiking #landscape

Near the mouth of Buckskin Gulch, thought to be one the longest slot canyons on the planet. I always feel like I'm stepping into Shangri-La when I visit this spot. #ShotsInSlots #GreenSat #ColorADay #hiking #backpacking

Fossilized ripple marks in the Moenkopi Formation, Capitol Reef National Park, UT. #FossilFriday #hiking

Earlier this week I took a short break while driving Nevada's Extraterrestrial Highway (NV 375) to capture this suitably spooky scene. #ColorADay #BWFri #Scape

Reflections, Patagonia Lake State Park near Patagonia, AZ. #YellowThu #landscape

Utah fleabane (Erigeron utahensis), Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, AZ. My photo from last May. #ColorADay #BlueTue 🌿

For #RockinTuesday a scene in Kane Gulch, Bears Ears National Monument, UT. Kane Gulch is an easy to moderate route into Grand Gulch.

Some wild erosion going on here. #ColorADay #PinkMon #hiking

Happy #BlueSkyMonday ! I hope you all have the best possible day.🌞

A slot canyon in Capitol Reef National Park. I saw that chockstone ahead and decided that this was the end of the line for me. #ShotsinSlots #NationalParks #hiking

A happy Gazania for #OrangeSun #ColorADay

Rock "teepees" at Kodachrome Basin State Park near Cannonville, Ut. #ColorADay #OrangeSun #hiking

I usually kill succulents with too much care, but this guy is pretty happy. #BlueSkyArtShow #shiny #ColorADay #GreenSat

Indian paintbrush looking perky on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. #ColorADay #RedWed

For #RockinTuesday how about some nice pictographs. My problem with RockinTuesday is that I'm surrounded by rocks - everywhere. It's a great problem to have.

Virginia bluebells blooming at 10,000 feet. Summer at Cedar Breaks National Monument is delightful. #ColorADay #BlueTue
