“It takes so little to make people happy. Just a touch, If we know how to give it, just a word fitly spoken, a slight readjustment of some bolt or pin or bearing in the delicate machinery of a soul.”
Frank Crane

I had first edited this photo last summer but for some reason never got around to posting it!
So today, when I found out in the summer archives because I was desperately trying to remember what Calgary looked like without snow (yes, we got still more snow today!), I figured today would be the perfect time to post it!
Hope you are all having a great Wednesday, and that you are all adjusting to these annoying flickr changes OK!
Delicate Arch is a 52-foot (16 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch. Because of its distinctive shape, the arch was known as "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys. It was given its current name by Frank Beckwith, leader of the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, who explored the area in the winter of 1933–1934. 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.
Gosto do modo carinhoso do inacabado, do malfeito, daquilo que desajeitadamente tenta um pequeno vôo e cai sem graça no chão.

The milkweed blossomed and went to seed waiting for the Monarchs - but only one Monarch showed up. We had so many plants and so many hopes ... I put some of the seeds in the ground and we brought some plants in. If they survive the winter we'll put them out in the Spring and hope again.

"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." - Adabella Radici.

Although it's one of the most photographed things in Utah (taking pride of place on the Utah registration plates), you can't go to Arches National Park without getting your own Delicate Arch shot at sunset. The 20+ other people with tripods there that afternoon felt the same way and we got what we came for with a nice clear sunset.
NOTE: If you reblog my photos to places like Tumblr, my tolerance will stretch only to cases where my flickr username is shown and a link is present.

You've seen many pictures of this arch, named for th weak point on its thinner leg. Most of the shots are taken on the same level was the arch. This shot is from the lower trail viewpoint and shows how high in elevation the arch really is.
Enlarge the photo and you'll see people around the arch. That will give you some perspective as to the size of things in Arches National Park.
