Delicate Arch is the most iconic sandstone arch in the Arches National Park and it requires medium difficulty and 3 miles hiking both ways. It’s challenging and intimidating at some slopes where these photos were taken but visitors were undaunted and really enjoyed the breathtaking views. But unfortunately, the day after we visited, on 11/29/2019, two tourists from California fell to their death near this site. Do make sure the weather be favorable before you take up the hike and exercise your highest level of caution when you go. A pair of hiking shoes with proper gripping on rock is a must. Do not attempt to hike up there with regular sneaker, never!

I have a "green" (purple💜) thumb.

This is Meadow Rue which grows to around 4' talI. Because it was so tall and delicate, the smallest breath of wind made it hard to photograph. I sure hope to find it at the park's garden next year.

Un lugar alucinante, en el que vivi uno de los mejores momentos de mi vida junto a mi familia: por la ruta, el entorno, lo que sentimos y compartimos, el atardecer que nos hizo, y el cielo tan increíble que hay en este lugar. Para que os hagáis una idea está disparada a ISO 8000 f2.8 30s con 5d Mark IV y el 16-35 III de Canon España.

Es solo una fotografia, no como lo que se ve de este sitio que se suelen juntar dos fotos, por la tremenda oscuridad que existe.

Y esta se la quiero dedicar a una de las personas mas especiales que he conocido, de una amistad inquebrantable, siempre dispuesto a ayudar no solo a mi, si no a cualquiera de sus amigos. Si habría que poner una foto a lo que es la amistad, creo que la suya debería aparecer debajo de la definición. Y los que tienen la suerte de conocerle estarán de acuerdo conmigo...y que lo pongan en los comentarios ;).

Vamos a arroparle de halagos a Pedrito Ba. Mil gracias amigo

This is one of the roses from our garden it is a climbing variety known as "Blush Noisette" and it is absolutely covered in these gorgeous flowers that vary from white to this delicate pink and in some cases have both. It has such a lovely fragrance as well and there must currently be a hundred buds on this small bush.

The delicate things in our lives. The beauty in our world and in our galaxy is always in a delicate balance. Hiking to Delicate Arch at 2 in the morning with four good friends and shooting the Milky way over Delicate arch. A night that will never be forgotten. Thanks guys.

While viewing the Sakura, I chanced upon a charming young Maiko on the way to her ochaya. Thank you for consenting to be photographed, Nox-chan (www.flickr.com/photos/155336920@N04/)!

I don't know what kind of flowers these are, but I thought they were just adorable. So sweet and pretty.

Buy my gear:

Last night was the first hard freeze in NE Oklahoma, so went to a low area near water and found the plants that create Ice Ribbons, this is natures delicate art, in a few more minutes they will be gone with sun out and temperatures rising.

A flower's appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

I love all things, not only the grand but the infinitely small: thimble, spurs, plates, flower vases.....

Sunset at the Delicate Arch. First time to Arches National Park. So worth the hick up to this Arch.

ODC- PERFECT TIMING, or your best shot at it is the topic for Friday 18th March 2016

It took perfect timing to get this shot with out people in the arch

Have you ever seen the intricate fins in the desert?

I found this unique grouping of fins while exploring the Coyote Buttes. It was so paper-thin that I was amazed how it was still standing! Its delicate beauty emphasizes our responsibility to preserve and protect our the nature around us.

Arches is an awesome place to visit. It requires some hiking to see some of the most beautiful areas, but the scenery is great getting to all of it.

Part in shadow, part in sun, Delicate Arch rises a masterwork among an almost alien landscape of wonders late on a summer evening, in Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah.

This is a long exposure using a Singh-Ray 10-Stop filter, and embracing all the warming effect that filter can provide (with some more in post since I was having fun with this one) coupled with the beautiful natural light as sunset neared. I really like this image extra warm, and left the sky overexposed a bit here too, because those attributes to me accentuate the otherworldliness (or should I say Martian-ness) of the scene.

Sometimes when traveling around this red rock country of the American southwest, you can almost imagine you're on Mars. And just think how fun it would be if such an amazing arch as this was ever captured on Mars in an image from one of our rovers. The internet might blow up with wishful theorizing that the arch was a monument from an ancient extraterrestrial civilization rather than the beautiful happenstance of natural processes of water, ice and wind.

Thanks for viewing!
