It was a beautiful day with wind (25mph) and nice clouds at 3 hours prior to sunset. However, at time for sunset, dark cloud covers the sun and blocking all lights; and wind blows away earlier clouds.
All I could get is this one photo without tourist and some lingering clouds to capture the serenity of the view and beauty of Arches.
Enjoy!.

This is an old photo I had taken back when I did a 365 in 2010. I was still new to the photography world and I was learning how to edit and process photos, etc...that was four years ago...time really does fly. Lol. I had used a point and shoot for my entire project and rewarded myself with my DSLR when I was done. I think I have come a long way since 2010 but I still have so much to learn.
I remember the day I found this beautiful monarch. I was out biking with the kids and came across the butterfly laying on the road. I am assuming it had been hit by a car. :(
We are seeing lots of monarch butterflies this time year which is always so nice to see.
These are tough robber-bandit survivors of birds, but contrarily can on occasion appear fragile - like finely wrought bone china that might snap if handled carelessly. Yet they brawl and battle over scraps and duel for trifles that hardly seem worth the effort - so clearly they're anything but - delicate!
You said, "Be careful, it's delicate, things can just crumble apart."
But it's not the same for me
It's not the same for me
So I kept treading so carelessly
Thin lines that splintered my ground
But I closed my eyes to them
I closed my eyes to them
How did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?

I just want school to be over for this year.
One more week.
PS: I really like how shots like these turn out.
Rewards aplenty today and well, I made sure I didn't miss sunset this time around. It was way more dramatic today then yesterday anyway. I was very happy with these unfolding conditions. I'd scouted my precarious perch earlier and then went on a foray up to another ridge. I was told by a German fellow that I made him a little nervous scrambling around in my flip-flops. Some funny drama at sunset as an overly assertive photographer shouted at some tourists to get out of the way so he could get the shot he'd been waiting for all day. Understood, I've been in his shoes but it is a national park after all and everyone's come here to get a picture of one type or another. But this guy's making us all look bad. Maybe he could have said it another way? Anyway, people were yelling back at him to relax and blah blah blah. Now everyone, lets all share and play nicely. I will say... thanks goodness for photoshop. I feel no shame for cloning people out of my photos although I didn't have to on this one.
Oh yeah, don't miss the two kissing crows on top of the arch.

Comments and critiques are most welcome but please no badges and blinking lights.
Bought some flowes at the grocery store the other day because they had these in the pack...such delicate beauties they are.
While at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, we hiked to Delicate Arch. The views were amazing overlooking the landscape. Afterwards we drove to the lookout on the other side of Delicate Arch and hiked to the upper viewpoint. Wow! Amazing how far down over the edge!

...flowers found in my front yard possibly planted last year by the previous tenant:) Again, I have no idea what they are and if they are flowers or weeds, but I don't care because they are pretty. I do not know if these will survive tonights cold weather - it may get down to the low to mid 30's! The blooms are about the size of a dime and the buds are really really tiny. click here for large To get an image like this I usually just rock back and forth just a little to focus, bring my arms in real tight and hold my breath! I can't use a tripod with my macro attachment when the flowers are less then 12" from the ground.
We are actually under a "frost warning". This morning is snowed several inches not to far from where I live and there were several accidents the opposite direction of peoples cars sliding down the hills due to ice early in the morning. It is May isn't it?
