This hummingbird's delicate grace was fascinating to watch as she sipped sweetened water at a rest stop near Bear Lake Idaho. I'm so glad she decided to take a little rest too!

Arches National Park, Utah

The Milky Way Rises behind Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah, United States. Delicate Arch has become a widely recognized symbol of the state of Utah and one of the most famous geologic features in the world. The light opening beneath the arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, making it the largest free-standing arch in the park. Arches National Park is a national park of the United States in eastern Utah. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 mi north of Moab, Utah. The park contains more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the well-known Delicate Arch, which constitute the highest density of natural arches in the world. It also contains a variety of other unique geological resources and formations. The national park lies above an underground evaporite layer or salt bed, which is the main cause of the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths in the area.

An evening at the Delicate Arch.

Me being fluffy had a serious butt kicking while 'climbing' the hike for this natural marvel. It was well above my health grade but nonetheless I climbed it just to take a picture. Love of photography does a lot of crazy but wonderful things to your lifestyle. I can say I would have never even thought of going for this if not for capturing this monument in my camera. My wonderful wife was next to me and looked unbothered with all the elevation, hardly giving out a drop of sweat. It sucked!

But once I was on the top I loved every moment ogling at this wonderful Arch and all the Delicateness associated. It was majestic and appears to be built by aliens!

I took a spot after walking carefully on the slanting edges and waited out for the sunset. Eventually, I had almost a dozen photographs next to me (I choose a good spot!). As the sun went down I clicked almost 500 shots and still had to browse through them. I loved the two cotton candy flakes of clouds emanating from the horizon giving a third dimension to the majesty of the Arch.

In retrospect I think photography is the best thing that has happened to me, won't regret any moment spent behind the camera!

This was tricky - every time I breathed the little feather fluttered off. I learned to time my breathing!

The story of this photo is a quick one

I took this photo in less than a minute

I use a 35mm lens so I was on the ground

I got up from taking the photo

*Surprise*

Oops this was a doorway and there were two people on either side of the door staring at me take the photo wondering what I was doing!!!

My photos have been private for a long time. I did it on accident. I am slowly re-adding them to share .

Will be back after a short absence; Hope you all have a great day.

Long exposure at the Delicate Arch, one of the most famous of the approximately 2000 natural sandstone arches in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, United states of America.

My girlfriend and I hiked in to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park a couple months ago for this shot. It was really incredible being there at night.

I lit this with a small flashlight for about a minute. 20 min exposure F 6.3 ISO 640

I've been super busy....I will be doing my best to catch up with everyone over the next few days:)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!:)

I love the delicate structures on a coral reef just as much as the fish. The lighting was hitting this amazingly well and I am pretty happy with how this turned out.

White hibiscus.In America the hibiscus is known as the "Rose of Sharon"where it symbolizes "delicate beauty"and the"perfect bride"who is one with God.The petals on this hibiscus were quite large,maybe 8 to 10 inches in diameter.I saw one in another part of the botanic garden that might have been about 12 inches in diameter or larger.
