Pain tings

I've been working on painting the last couple days....something fun and new

Desert Water

Nothing seems so delicious as water in the desert. Amazing day, hiking a canyon to a jumping hole.....hot 80's day.....shady canyon....water....perfect

Cup CAKES

Perfect day to have a birthday party...and perfect day to bake cup cakes!!!!


Strawberry cupcakes, strawberry champagine frosting......yummmmmmmmmmm







The best part about baking alone, I get to eat the beaters BOTH OF THEM!!!!

Bad Photos of Arches or the Moon

My Housemate here in Moab, she works at the Aches Park, suggested we head out to arches on a full moon night last week. The photos are not so good because of the cloud cover and me not knowing how to work the exposure.....however, if you open them and make them big....then you can see SOME detail.

Water and Sand

My Fave photo

Some more photos from Natl. Bridges......sigh....it was awesome....

Nat. Bridges Nation Monument.

In No perticular order. Natl. Bridges National Monument!! It's about 2.5 hours south of Moab. One can see the AZ and NM border when driving down there.



It's a great 9+ mile hike through and under 3 amazing bridges that wind you through a beautiful canyon....and low and behold WATER in the canyon. But that's why they are "bridges" and not "arches"



I have learned that "Arches" are formed by wind, and "Bridges" are formed by water! awesome.



The hand prints behind me are from the Anistazi indians, made from ground pigment and NOT mud.....they are awesome

Camp 4

So......on a sappy note. Chris sent me this tent. And.....the last time it'd been opened was just after we met, in Yosemite.

Indian Creek

So THIS is the whole reason that I came to Moab, this place....is magical. I dont have much to say......I love it here.



I was luck enough to come out last week for a couple days. Day one was fairly cool, but it bagan to warm up....sort of....after that.



Fantastic old cottonwood.

More Arches.........

Man, Good thing for "P" that I am NOT a DINOSAUR...he would be so dead.....he didn't know it, but the WHOLE time we were hiking I was pretending that I was a DINOSAUR!! Chomp CHOMP CHOMP!!!! Stalking...



Sneek Sneek sneek........Yummmm crunchy bones......silly human, in the slot canyon. If knew me better he would have know to look behind him, because he would have caught me making dinosaur faces and creeping and leaping on stones!



Sneaky Slot canyons.



Oh yeh, and an Arch.
I didnt see the arch for a few min, because there were these crows ridge soaring the top of it....and I was busy looking at them playing on the air. Thinking about paragliding, then suddenly i exclamed "OH CHECK IT OUT! Thhe ARCH!" Sneaky Arch......

I found out that the top 60 largest arches are in Utah. The rest are in Africa.....who knew? ha ha ha Okay, Casey my house mate new.....but I never would have guessed.

Kane Creek/Desert Spring

I love spring in the desert. Any one who thinks the desert has no color or is dead, need only come see it in the spring. It's amazing. Every time I see a budding leaf or a small beautiful flower fighting against the lack of water and real dirt I want to chear for it.....Go Little Plant GO! GO! GO!



Yoga Graffiti.......OOooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm



P. and friend Playing on "the Farm".....fun 80' roofed crack land!!
