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.
