A very delicate, tiny waterfall near Toketee Falls, on the North Umpqua River, near Crater Lake in Southern Oregon.
I had the " cooker studio " set up for starting the Saturday Self Challenge - job done quite quick so while everything in place take a few random shots . Here is one of them !
Delicate Arch is a 65-foot (20 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, United States.[1] 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.
This is a close up shot of a delicate pink flower in my garden.

There's something sort of erotic about this shot. I suddenly feel like Georgia O'Keeffe.
Best viewed large.
I haven't had a good old fashioned macro shoot in a long time. I got two new photo props!!

Delicate Arch is the most famous arch in Arches National Park and is depicted on both Utah license plates and a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996.
It was not included within the original boundaries; it was added when the monument was enlarged in 1938.
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)
This shot was taken from behind the arch, unlike the usual, classical sunset shot of it.

Day two of my road trip across Utah- Took an evening hike up to Delicate Arch. Love love love this place! One of the more beautiful spots on the planet that I've been to. I like that there is a kid in the middle of the arch, as it gives more of a sense of the immense size of the arch. I'm so proud of myself for making it up there and then walking around the ridge to touch the arch as I'm terrified of heights!
Arches National Park, Utah.
I don't think there are many places that are shot more by photographers than Delicate Arch. But what can I say - everyone needs one, right? So this is my version. The skies weren't great that evening, but it could have been worse. At least there were a few whispy clouds in the sky behind the arch. This was taken just a few minutes before the sun vanished below the horizon.
I guess there's only a few weeks during the year when the entire front of the arch is lit by the setting sun. We just happened to be there then. The only problem was the shadows in front of the arch, but you can't have everything, right?

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated!!
Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Utah at sunset. It's about an hour hike to get to this point.
I really enjoy the fine, & delicate petals on these Bee Balm flowers.
The bees really enjoy them too!
I was going through some old photos and testing out some processing techniques.
I'm obsessed with tints at the moment. I saw a fabulous vintage photo shoot in a magazine and all the photos had a pink tint.
So I thought I would try it out.
This is Valeria from Australia's Next Top Model. I realised I had never uploaded ths photo so this is a fresh new edit on an Alana archive photo.
After our exploration in the Fiery Furnace, we hoofed it up to Delicate Arch. We've been there a fair few times but not so often that it isn't still a treat. This time was not much different - a couple of new photo angles and different people posing under the arch but I still had to get the old standby photos because the autumn light was so bold and pretty.
This one is a must-take every time. Before reaching the overall viewpoint for Delicate, there's a small scramble up to Frame Arch which, true to it's name, frames Delicate perfectly. You can't see it from the trail and there's no sign but there's usually somebody up there making enough noise so you know where to look.
(tech: other than a little detail enhancement, this one's straight outta the camera. It was a good day for photos.)

Arches National Park - It was like coming home again. We used to visit frequently when it was day-trip distance, now we don't go often enough. The upside of that is that when we do, it looks new again. And very very good.
November 19th, 2012 - Thanksgiving in Moab, six days and five nights of redrock exploration.
Two more from the shoot with this beautiful young girl. Loved so many images from this shoot that the past few days i have been wondering which ones to post and which ones to leave out. You might see a couple more from this shoot which i may not be able to resist sharing with you! :)
sooc, manual focus.
As strong as I try to be I never forget that life is delicate, that my heart can be delicate. You let me in and tell me stories and you open up my mind. But sometimes I look into your eyes and all I see are walls.
