Dawn at Dead Horse Point, Moab, Utah. As I'm reading this amazing book by Edward Abbey, I can only imagine his river ride from Moab down to Glen Canyon. Being here at dawn in winter, once cannot help but savor the solitude and beauty of the canyon and the river flowing below.
---------------
"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you -- beyond that next turning of the canyon walls."

I've been on the road again and caught my first look at "Kodachrome Basin". It was named after the wonderful Kodak film by a group of National Geographic photographers who visited the area in 1949 and has since become a popular Utah State Park. It is located about 20 miles east of Bryce Canyon National Park and known for 67 "chimney" like formations.
After sharing a few photos of Kodachrome Basin State Park over the next several days I'll share a photo of what I call Monochrome Lake. Another natural wonder amongst the many in the beautiful and scenic state of Utah.

There is a lot to see between Park City and Vernal. This park and Steinaker State Park are north of Vernal on US 191. The other sites were on US 40 east of Heber City. The lakes I posted earlier were on or close to US 40 between Park City and Heber City.

After 3 months of problems with my internet provider it looks as though things are back to running smoothly. It sometimes has taken days or running to a friends house to upload photos and leave comments.

The Three Sisters at Goblin Valley State Park, Utah

I spent a few hours watching Short-eared owl hunt on Antelope Island yesterday. I found two nesting pair. I have a good idea where one nest is but I don’t want to disturb it. They must both have owlets because all four owl were out hunting. The area they hunt is huge so it's difficult to predict where they will be, but with four flying around it increased my chances. I left with a few image I'm happy with. This being my favorite from the day. I like that the owl is the only thing in focus and how the environment almost looks like a painting. It would make a nice print on canvas.
