I continue to go through my 2021 photos: there are some I’ve never even seen. Here is something from our visit to Zion National Park that is slightly different than my usual work.
Virgin River Reflections & Rock, 10.15.21

the way I see the world
We visited Zion National Park a short while ago. It’s a place I find difficult for photography, while Dan manages to get fabulous images. Since I travel with him I do watch and learn. I’m hoping I’ll improve. I think the only way to know, though, is to go back. Hm. I’d be quite happy to do that!

I saw the Grand Canyon (North Rim) for the first time ever. But I have a fear of heights and I simply couldn’t go with Dan to see it from the edge there. Even from where I sat I was having issues. In addition, the wind was absolutely crazy. Turned out we drove all the way there, spent a few minutes looking, and headed back out because it was just too windy! Ah well … maybe I’ll get back there again sometime. It could happen.
This is just an iPhone shot: we didn’t even bother with our “real” cameras because of that darn wind!

We are now enjoying a rainy day here in my neighborhood. It’s quite welcome, having lived in drought conditions for so very long. I am always grateful for rain, as I am a real rain lover, but at this point I think the entire state is grateful!
Still, I dream of going to this lovely spot again …
