Arches National Park, Utah, August 5, 2008

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?

By far the most famous attraction in Arches National Park is Delicate Arch, its more or less symmetrical shape, and 18m freestanding formation making it a symbol of both the State of Utah and the American Southwest in general. Originally called "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys, it was not officially discovered and given its current name until the 1933 Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition. Ironically it was not even included in park boundaries when Arches National Monument was first established by Pres Herbert Hoover in 1929. It was added when the monument was enlarged in 1938. In 2002 the Olympic Torch Relay passed through the arch.

 

Everyone (myself included) stops for photos under the arch. Here you can see just how large the arch actually is.

I really enjoy the fine, & delicate petals on these Bee Balm flowers.

The bees really enjoy them too!

... even when photographed upskirt.

Arches National Park has over 2,000 documented arches.

 

Delicate Arch is in the lower right quadrant.

I couldn't say that I'd lived in Australia for a year without having tried my hand at surfing so, about a month after I moved to the country, a group of new friends and I booked onto a weekend that took us six hours or so up the East Coast to this remote beach to give the sport a try.

 

We were just about the only other people that set foot on the amusingly named "Delicate Nobby Beach" that weekend and certainly the only ones insane enough to go in the water. But, when it looked this beautiful, us non-Australians were desperate to get into the brilliantly blue ocean, regardless of whether we were lucky enough to have nabbed a wetsuit or not.

 

Australia's coastline is encrusted with countless numbers of beautiful beaches and bays and strips of sand but this is definitely one that will stick in my mind after I leave here, due to both how deserted it was and how beautiful.

August 2013.

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Houmongi. Houmongi are semi-formal kimono that can be worn by both married and unmarried women. They are characterized by artfully arranged patterns that flow seamlessly across the garment's seams. This kimono displays a delicate pattern of peonies and chrysnathemums on a deep blue background This kimono likely originates in the mid to late Showa Period (1926 - 1989).

 

I have inspected this kimono in detail, there is a little bit of damage; some slight marks on the exterior and some patina on the white blossoms. There are also a few spots where the dye has bled a little bit, but this likely occurred during the dying process. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. This garment is 100% silk.

 

MEASUREMENTS:

Length: 159cm

Arm Span: 126cm

Width Across Back: 60cm

Total Width of Skirt: 130cm

Sleeve Drop: 49cm

 

SIZING

If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 149cm (4'11") - 169cm (5'7") tall, with hips about 87cm (34") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

Such beautiful, delicate flowers from the Hawaiian Botanical Gardens. Just lovely. Thought I would return from a few months of silence with beautiful flowers :)

Taken at Big Hill Park in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA. (Rock County)

I was really taken by how delicate the blossoms and buds were and how beautiful they were even with their little imperfections.

 

Saturday is PURPLE day.

A single delicate snowflake. How many has it taken to accumulate a depth of 7 inches (17.78 cm) which have fallen in the last 48 hours?

Some of the harshest plants have the most delicate flowers. Kind of like some people...

The first of some photos taken on a recent trip to Moab, Utah.

 

This is a shot from Delicate Arch. Notice there is no arch....Simply put, too many people had the same idea I did, except they wanted their pictures taken while standing in the arch.
