I was very careful stepping on some rocks to get to this pristine section of the desert. The soil there is alive, and takes many years to get to this state ... so not stepping on it is quite important. I really liked this pristine view of the earth there leading into the wall of the Reef there in Utah.
This view was via one of the back dirt roads there in the park.
Another visit to this location with some ok conditions providding a hint of colour and some flow over the rock shelf.

On way out after spending the day at Capital Reef National Park I pulled over the side of the road and scrambled on top of a boulder to take one of my last shots for the day.
Wikipedia: The Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra), also known as the eastern reef heron or eastern reef egret, is a species of heron found throughout southern Asia and Oceania. In Australia, Pacific reef herons inhabits most of the coastline, and offshore islands including the Torres Strait Islands. Pacific reef herons are widespread across Micronesia, with breeding records in Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, among various other islands. The species also breeds throughout western Polynesia, including in Fiji, French Polynesia, and Tonga – though it does not breed in Niue.
It occurs in two color morphs with either slaty grey or pure white plumage. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Conservation status: Least Concern
The Caineville Reef is immediately east of the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The repeated forms are Mancos Shale, which few plant species can invade.
Was lucky that this fellow flew in for a few minutes whilst at Long Reef. Not as sharp as one would like as it was just after sunrise.
Along the scenic drive in the Capitol Reef National Park, don't pass up the stop at the Slick Rock Divide. One gets great views along the winding once-underwater reef in this now high desert, ambling over this terrain as you wish. This is from Spring, 2023.
Hiked along one of the washes to get to this rock formation out there in the landscape. This way I did not disrupt the desert landscape that struggles everyday there to survive and thrive.
Captured with the CPL filter in the filtered (by some thin clouds) sunlight on the scene.
The late afternoon cloudy view made for some interesting scenes there among this amazing Utah landscape. Nature is so amazing to explore.
