I visited Brooklyn Botanic Garden today. They have lots of rare breeds of flowers there and many visitors were enjoying it.
Yesterday I had a teeny tiny baby deer in my backyard in town. And he was crying for his mama. I called a wildlife place & was advised to just wait to see if it's mama would find it during the night. I heard him crying during the night, then when I looked out in the morning he was gone. He was so very delicate & tiny. I'm thinking positively that mama & baby are happily back together.
Inspired by a delicate weave of lace, Chantilly entwines an intricate surface raised through the use of specialised inks with an opulent gloss of stunning colour. The soft silhouette of linear detail enhances the feminine characteristics of the design and would add luxury to an interior scheme.
Delicate Arch
Carved in Entrada Sandstone, this free-standing arch is composed mostly of the Slick Rock Member. The top is a five-foot thick layer of Moab Tongue. A remnant of an ancient fin, the arch today has an opening 45 feet (13.7 meters) high and 33 feet (10 meters) wide.
Water and time have sculpted Delicate Arch, and erosion continues to slowly wear away the features of this mature span. Although it will eventually succumb to the same forces that created it, this majestic arch now stands as an iconic feature of the American West.
Delicate Arch's distinctive shape has inspired such colorful nicknames as "Cowboy Chaps" and "Old Maid's Bloomers."

Arches National Park
Utah National Parks Trip 2021

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Southern Utah. This is a different angle then usually seen. It is of the backside of the arch on a very steep incline. This is one of my first HDR attempts.
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.

Delicate Arch overlooks the Cache Valley and dwarfs the humans who gather around it.
I've made this hike several times and it is a bit of an uphill slog to get here. But I've passed eighty year-old guys and families. There are always families in Utah.
In the background are the La Sal mountains, about twenty five miles away.
Delicate Arch is a 52-foot-tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park, near Moab in Grand County, Utah, United States.
The arch is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of admission to the Union in 1996.
The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch.
it's a long hike to get to the best vantage points to photograph it.
