Ambling along the slick rock ridge of White Pocket at sunset is an exercise in walking amount colors.

Coyote Buttes South really is one of those places that defies the imagination. How could natural forces make something that looks so sculpted and perfect?

I think White Pocket would look fantastic under any conditions but it’s truly spectacular with a bright sunset peaking over the rocks and the brilliant sun truly illuminating the deep colors and hues of the landscape.

For World Photography Day- a word of thanks. Thankfulness for a wide world of wonders to capture in the shutter of my camera and thankfulness for having my art appreciated.

“Don’t shoot in bright sunlight and with intense shadows!!!”

Okay, but then how do you accurately capture the intensity of the desert? And these colors? And this light?

Do what you want.

A Utah and Arizona, you are in the Navajo Nation. In Navajo, sacred land is referred to as Diné Bikéyah. This land belongs to the people. Hopitutskwa, Pueblos, and Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) land is also found across these two states and at archeological sites and natural sites. It is an honor to see them. White Pocket is most closely associated with Southern Paiute land.

#Allpubliclandsmatter! Zion is celebrating an anniversary today and it wouldn’t be if it didn’t achieve National Monument status before it ever became a National Park. 116 years of grandeur, no matter what the designation is!

- In Zion, you are on Pueblos and Southern Paiute land. Zion’s native name is Mukuntuweap. Zion is the name given to the canyon by American explorers.

I’m a week late for my Halloween post. This is my Halloween post because this rock formation in Vermillion Cliffs looks like a witch’s hat. Or the Sorting Hat. From Harry Potter. Which wasn’t written by anyone of note and certainly not by someone who has abhorrent views about minorities. Anyway. Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas. Let’s not skip Thanksgiving either.

It’s been a long week, y’all.
