Classic view of the iconic Delicate Arch in Arches National Park near Moab, UT. This view requires a 3.0 mile round trip hike up from the parking lot. A real workout for this old man due to the 800' elevation change.

Damselfly wings. Like black lace. This was sooc apart from the crop. He happened to land on a trike sitting in the garden. Amazing how lovely blue plastic can look in some circumstances!

I watched this Green-veined White land on various plants, on a dull and breezy afternoon. This, I thought, was the prettiest setting and the contrast makes for an almost monochromatic image. I love this time of year with the Cow Parsley at its best. The delicate white flowers like antique lace and the smell takes me back to boyhood and running down woodland paths on my way home from school.
I like this combination , the iron pot is rough and heavy, the petals of roses are fragile, but their stems has a lot of thorns...

Delicate Arch Reflection
Arches National Park
Moab, Utah
November 2015
The bowl beneath Delicate Arch was sculpted over millions of years by wind, water, and freeze–thaw cycles. Soft Entrada Sandstone slowly wore away along natural cracks, carving out the smooth amphitheater we see today—proof that even the desert’s harshest forces can create something beautifully delicate.
My take on the iconic delicate arch. We drove for about 7hrs and then rushed to the trailhead. We reached the point a few mins before sunset and it was super windy and cold.

I couldn't go to Arches without taking the hike to the most famous arch of them all. I did a sunset shoot of Delicate Arch. Most of the arches in the park are kind of a hole in a wall of rock. This one is totally unique, the way it just sits there all by itself. Having the full moon rising in the background was a really nice extra bonus. I was hoping to time it right for that, but wasn't expecting it to be in such a perfect spot. It's a bit of a hike to get to. Not super long, but a mile and a half feels pretty long when it's 98º. But, what was really fun was the hike back in the dark. I stayed till dusk, and hiked back by flashlight. It's not like walking through the woods, where you are following a very obvious, well worn trail. There are no footprints when you are walking on a solid wall of rock. There are no trees. There are no landmarks. Everything looks the same. All you have to go by, is is a little pile of rock cairns every hundred feet or so, which is a problem when you can only see about 20-30 feet ahead with the flashlight. I can't count how many times I wandered off in the wrong direction in search of a little pile of rocks, telling me 'this is the trail'.
I have a perennial garden that is full of raucous native flowers like echinacea and rudbeckia. But in the spring I love the exact opposite - the tiny, delicate feasts for the eye that Mother Nature provides.
