Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.
Located just off Interstate 15, The Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park is home to spectacular finger canyons with soaring cliffs of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons. Kolob may be the little known portion of Zion National Park but it is as spectacular as the main canyons of Zion proper. Kolob is home to a unique geological history and diverse animal and plant life.
The Taylor Creek Trail is a hiking highlight in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion and leads to the famous Double Arch Alcove. 8.0-km out-and-back trail is generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2-3 hours complete.

Double-barred Finch
Scientific Name: Taeniopygia bichenovii
Description: The Double-barred Finch is one of the long-tailed grass-finches and is notable for its 'owl-faced' features, having a white face bordered black. It is grey-brown, with white underparts banded black above and below the chest, giving the species its name. The wings are black, spotted white, the tail is black and the bill and legs are blueish-grey. Juveniles are dulller, with indistinct chest bars. These grass-finches usually feed in flocks and have a bouncing, undulating flight pattern.
Similar species: There are two subspecies of Double-barred Finch: the eastern race has a white rump and the western race has a black rump. Otherwise, distinguished form other finches by its 'owl-face'.
Distribution: The Double-barred Finch is found in the Kimberley region through to west of the Gulf of Carpentaria (the western race annulosa), and then from Cape York down the east coast to south-eastern Victoria (the eastern race, bichenovii).
Habitat: The Double-barred Finch prefers dry grassy woodlands and scrublands, open forests and farmlands. It is never far from water.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic; only an occasional visitor to extreme south-eastern part of range.
Feeding: The Double-barred Finch feeds on the ground on seeds. It will also take insects, especially when breeding. It usually feeds in groups or flocks of up to 40 birds.
Breeding: The Double-barred Finch builds a rounded nest, with a side entrance and short tunnel into a inner chamber lined with fine grass, feathers and plant down. The nest is placed between 1 m to 5 m from the ground in pandanus or thick shrubs, or even in the eaves of a building, often close to an active wasps' nest. Both parents incubate and feed the young.
The nestlings of Double-barred Finches beg with their heads down to one side. This is unique to the grass-finch and waxbill family.
Calls: A brassy, drawn-out 'tzeeaat, tzeeaat'; also a low 'tat tat'

Shot the Dahlia first. Then added the white wash cloth out of focus. The double exposure dark setting was used for the exposures, so the wash cloth didn't totally burn out the Dahlia image.
……A turn to ’Tabletop photography’ today for my iPhoneaday 365 shot #036. Shot on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Press Z or 'Pinch Out' to pixel peep. This still life is ‘flat lay’ in natural light (plus a white card on the right) on a black backdrop with Blutac to hold the 1½” cream pots in place - and all for Smile on Saturday which this week has for its theme ‘two same’. No cream (or Milk) was spilt in the taking of this shot. HS😊S, Alan:-)
