nearly six hour hike

Photo Paradise Canyon, St. George, Utah. January 21, 2006.


Also of note: The cool breeze just before you crest a hill or come around a corner and suddenly there is nothing but down. The thrum of wings as things move from thorny tumbleweed to living shrub only a shade greener, the birds blushing pink at their own impudence. The warty surface of red sandstone as it...very slowly...rejects purple ironstone pellets.

Nice images, Ariel: the verbal as well as the visual. I like the way they appeal to several senses.

Yes, great images, A.

Just think how fast you would've been cresting hills with me along. :)
