This is smartweed which grows in receding waterlines of lakeshores or any moist disturbed area. It's also been called swamp smartweed and birds really like the seeds of this plant. This one was growing close to a slow moving river.

Thank you for your views and comments, they're very much appreciated! Have a great day and weekend!

Delicate Arch is a 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, USA. 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.

A lovely sunrise this morning but unable to rush out due to cracked ribs after a heavy fall on the ice onto my back last Monday which has all but laid me up.

Melting frost drops on some grasses in the front yard!

The Arch is one of the highlights of Arches National Park and is possibly the most beautiful arch in the world. This arch needs to be experienced in person to be really appreciated.

Resting on top of a huge sandstone formation, the world-famous site offers spectacular views of the La Sal snow capped Mountains..

Thank you for your comments,

In the park meadow in the late summer sun just beautiful light..

The delicate shading in the flower petals caught my eye. Found in the parks in Bad Homburg.

Not the best of focus, but in that day almost all birds desperately have fled of my lenses ..

Scilla are one of the first spring flowers to show themselves. These delicate blooms were growing in someone's yard a few years ago. I should be seeing them pop up within a month, or so I hope!

Thank you for your visits and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!

Taken at the side of the road looking back into Hillock Wood. Loved the delicate draping branches showing the Autumnal change with the view of the conifers behind.

So delicate and precious

Restless and watchful.

Delicate Arch has become the symbol of Utah, and even appears on the state's license plates.

Hiking out to the arch at sunset is ideal for photography as the sun shines directly on Delicate Arch. The trail is only 3 mile (4.8km) round-trip. It's rated "strenuous" on the sign though, perhaps due to its 4500 feet of elevation. For people who are used to navigating through the Canadian Rockies, this is just a piece of cake.

I avoided the selfie crowd and found myself a 'strategic' spot for the precious time between the arch and myself.
