Arches National Park Photoset - Located outside of Moab in Utah, the national park is a very popular destination, and on this day it was teeming with busloads of foreign tourists crawling over the sandstone arches like platoons of ants. Places visited include Balance Rock, Double Arch, Delicate Arch, and Landscape Arch. September 12, 2014 - 58 photos in the photoset.

Seen at Arcosanti, Arizona, these weeds fluttered gently in the rare breezes of a hot summer day in the high desert. This is not a macro: taken handheld with a 400mm lens while I was out shooting the landscape, mountains, sky and of course the doings of the Flam Chen troupe for the July 23 show Electropolis.
After I hiked all day around Arches National Park, I decided to capture the sunset by Delicate Arch. It wasn't what I expected, but the experience still was nice.
I started my hike into the arch at 7 a.m. and there was plenty of parking. People who were in for the sunrise were just starting to return.
When I got to the arch, there were only about a dozen or so people there and they were all courteous enough to approach the arch, get their pic taken and then leave it so that we could get pics of the arch by itself.

My friend Maria Sanchez (RIP). I recently wrote her son to tell him what: a wonderful woman she was and how beloved she was by her neighbors. To tell the truth, in the years that I knew her I got to love her a great deal. She reminded me so much of my own mother.
She’d tell me stories of her life in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. In the 1930s and 40s she earned money by making delicate embroidery and laundering the clothes of servicemen at Ramey Air force base. She once told me that her family had survived the 1918 Puerto Rico tsunami which struck the western part of the island. Her fisherman father remembered being amazed at the huge quantity of fish that covered the tree tops like leaves. www.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/caribbean/webpages/1918prindex....
Maria was a very nurturing person who also took time out for herself to make beautiful drawings, water colors and other handicrafts. She was a quiet driving force behind a 9/11 memorial quilt that was presented to the firefighter widows of the local firehouse. She lived her spirituality day to day. Maria gave a lot to her community by volunteering and just giving a hand when no one was looking.
She loved children....her own and her neighbors. She helped raise kids of different colors, nationalities and ethnicities....although she never learned to speak much English. Years later they would still hug and greet her as mama’. On one occasion she noted with great pride that a little Black boy she had cared for grew up to become a burly NYC policeman who showered her with hugs and kisses when he came visiting. In another life she would have been an artist, a teacher or perhaps both. In her home one would find beautiful curios and nick-knacks. Her children loved her and cared for her. As I write this, I miss her and pray for her continued rest in peace. Gracias Maria.

A very delicate, tiny waterfall near Toketee Falls, on the North Umpqua River, near Crater Lake in Southern Oregon.
This is a close up shot of a delicate pink flower in my garden.
If you use my image please leave a comment and let me know where you have used it. Thanks.
The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world. It has fought in over 40 battles and these days is so delicate it is only allowed out to sail once a year on the 4th of July.
The definitive must-do Southern Utah hike. It's not nearly as ominous as the NPS trail guide makes it sound (although I wouldn't want to do on a summer afternoon). Take water and go at a comfortable pace and you'll be fine.

Ciao a tutti,
vi saluto con gli splendidi versi di Erri De Luca
Elogio dei piedi
Perché reggono l'intero peso.
Perché sanno tenersi su appoggi e appigli minimi.
Perché sanno correre sugli scogli e neanche i cavalli lo sanno fare.
Perché portano via.
Perché sono la parte più prigioniera di un corpo incarcerato. E chi esce dopo molti anni deve imparare di nuovo a camminare in linea retta.
Perché sanno saltare, e non è colpa loro se più in alto nello scheletro non ci sono ali.
Perché sanno piantarsi nel mezzo delle strade come muli e fare una siepe davanti al cancello di una fabbrica.
Perché sanno giocare con la palla e sanno nuotare.
Perché per qualche popolo pratico erano unità di misura.
Perché quelli di donna facevano friggere i versi di Pushkin.
Perché gli antichi li amavano e per prima cura di ospitalità li lavavano al viandante.
Perché sanno pregare dondolandosi davanti a un muro o ripiegati indietro da un inginocchiatoio.
Perché mai capirò come fanno a correre contando su un appoggio solo.
Perché sono allegri e sanno ballare il meraviglioso tango, il croccante tip-tap, la ruffiana tarantella.
Perché non sanno accusare e non impugnano armi.
Perché sono stati crocefissi.
Perché anche quando si vorrebbe assestarli nel sedere di qualcuno, viene scrupolo che il bersaglio non meriti l'appoggio.
Perché, come le capre, amano il sale.
Perché non hanno fretta di nascere, però poi quando arriva il punto di morire scalciano in nome del corpo contro la morte.
(Erri De Luca)
The title says it all - the delicate colours were what drew me to this - I don't know what it is...well, it's a plant, with ambitions to be a flower, obviously...but beyond that? Nah. No idea.
