Sunset at Delicate Arch, Arches NP, Utah

Arches NP, Delicate Arch

So delicate hands and body!

Sunday's hike with friends to Delicate Arch, near Moab, Utah.

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.

Kuura loves her delicate tea cup. Fenris prefers something more robust.

My neighbor two doors down the street saw me with my camera this morning and invited me in to her lovely garden for a photo opportunity. She doesn't recall the name of this poppy (another neighborhood gardener gave her seeds years ago) but it is certainly lovely! I've asked her to save some seeds for me this year so that I can try to get it started in my garden.

 

Normally, summer heat would have already ended the blooming cycle for this poppy... but all the rain and cooler weather we've had this spring has kept it still blooming. View large on black to fully appreciate the delicate petals.

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.

We might kiss when we are alone

When nobody's watching

We might take it home

We might make out when nobody's there

It's not that we're scared

It's just that it's delicate

Best viewed large. On Dogbane, the larval food plant. Didn't notice that much of it here -- but they found what there was! Think the female is the one facing downward; 23 mm long. Other one is 21 mm long.

In Arches National Park, Utah.

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.

Architecture or nature, we are surrounded by so much beauty and delicate details...

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.

As I had described previously Delicate Arch was a circus later in the day and leading up to Sunset. The crowd made the evening seem like an event. It had a very festive type of atmosphere. There was nothing planned, just people enjoying life, the place we were experiencing and generally just happy to be there.

 

This shows kind of the "photographer's row" a little while before the sun headed to the horizon. once the sun reached that line, and the top half of the arch started it's glow, everyone packed along this line to get their shots.

 

When you approach Delicate from the main trail it leads you just to the left, and slightly behind, of this shot.

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 !

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.

This is a Japanese Anemone growing in our garden.
