I have been hiking to Delicate arch every week since I moved to Moab in hopes of getting an awesome sunset photo. Last night I got to the arch around 6 pm hoping to get a parking spot at the main lot, didn't happen, and to wander around the arch again and see what frame I wanted. There is a forest fire burning about 30 miles south of town right now and I was thinking the smoke in the air could create some nice sunset light. Instead we had a storm roll in packing 30-40 mph gusts of wind, throwing sand everywhere but that's when the rain started falling; and when the magic happened. This started as a single rainbow and then quickly turned to a double. I was down below the rim to avoid having people in the shot and last nights group was really respectful and people would run out to the arch and run back quickly unlike most times I've been there. I feel fortunate to have been there to witness such an event at a world famous site.

A Fantastic Senior Portrait Session with a Lovely, Engaging, Kind, Fun, Funny Young Lady! Truly a gift to share 90 minutes of shooting with Her!
We got the privilege to meet Mike Owen and Donna on February 27th and join them for a small swamp walk and saw this beauty such a nice family. It is hard to believe how tiny this flower is I used a macro lens and combined 10 pictures for this image.
Ionopsis utricularioides, the delicate violet orchid, is a rare orchid and the only Ionopsis found in Florida. An epiphyte, it is found growing on pop ash and pond apple trees over water in deep swamps.
After having spent the afternoon photographing nature, I was just a bit more tuned in while pottering around at the back areas of the Keswick Railway Terminal to see this delicate organic beauty amongst the metal, rust and grime. Thanks for Scat2906 for identifying this flower as a Scabious.
Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM -Wanting to see how my news lens would work on smaller creatures, I took this photo of this butterfly. I can't help but notice how delicate it is; I wonder how it survives in storms, etc. But they do
Nearly everyone who visits Arches National Park takes this photo, and sunset is the best time. There were easily a dozen tripods next to mine, we had a problem with a trouble making tourist, who was getting in the way of our photos, but he moved away eventually.
This one taken at sunset.
Back in the Obedient Plant Bed to Snag this Swallowtail making a house call. Thanks for the Look and have a great week.
To be able to find beauty in small things makes it possible for you to find beauty in everything.

A different look at the Delicate Arch. Taken through a rock window along the trail leading to the arch. You have to scramble up about 12' to reach the port hole but this spectacular view rewards your efforts.
I don't know which tree is it, I assume it's a Palm...

Delicate Arch is located at the end of a moderately strenuous, 1.5 mi (2.4 km) hiking trail from the parking area at Wolfe Ranch. Taking thirty to forty-five minutes each way, the round trip is slightly more than 3 mi (4.8 km) long and the Arch is completely hidden from view on this trail.
The first third of the hike is through rugged, brushy terrain and gains slightly in elevation. The middle third of the hike is along the face of an exposed slickrock outcrop and is strenuous due to the gain in elevation, but offers better views of the geology in the salt valley. Cairns (piles of rocks) have been placed by visitors and park staff to roughly suggest the otherwise unmarked trail to the top, yet visitors tend to wander all over the huge expanse of completely exposed sandstone. The latter third of the trail is the most rugged, as hikers have now nearly reached the "top" of the plateau. The Arch is still invisible, and the trail runs around outcrops, through washes and between stands of twisted brush and trees. The trail may be easier to follow, but meanders as parts become muddy and difficult to walk through. During the 2004 fall season, the trail clearly followed the left (northern) side of the plateau, and brought visitors along a narrow shelf nearly 150 ft (46 m) above a dry wash.
The arch comes into view suddenly around a corner in the trail and frames the La Sal Mountains to the southeast. The immediate area around the Arch offers views of the southern expanse of the park, and has unguarded cliffs plunging one hundred feet or more

Another shot of the tall grasses in our front garden, covered in water drops from the morning's mist. The background is in fact the dull driveway!
