It felt like walking into an old western movie. High noon, a parched landscape, junipers, tumbleweed and a herd of wild burro roaming a landscape of bluffs, buttes and canyons.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and happy wandering.

Two Buttes
Two beautiful red-sandstone buttes weathered by eons of winds and rain sail along telling a tales of days gone by. The old west and much much more exposed in layers of earth and a sea of sky.
Along the wash
Cottonwood trees, canyon walls and a fine blue sky. Life finds a way where water flows.
as the wind blew
As the wind blew the earth sang.
Shapes were shaped and colors were born.
Time walked ever on.
Above the Butte
Clouds gather above the butte yet only a sprinkle of rain.
As the moon rises
Walking along a quiet road as a half moon rose above the canyon walls a dream of solitude was dreamt that night.
Ephemeral
Desert flowers enjoying the morning dew as we start on a hike in the canyon lands of the Colorado Plateau. These flowers seem to last only a day at the most. Knowing this we enjoy their beauty all the more. A life lesson taught flowers.
When the desert blooms
Only for a short time and not every year. When the desert blooms.
High on the Colorado Plateau of western Colorado.
Stormy Monday
Spring storms seem to be prevalent this week as ominous clouds build over the ever arid landscape of the high desert plateau of western Colorado. A stormy Monday might not be such a bad thing for a landscape in search of a drink.
Looking West
Looking west towards Utah from the canyons of western Colorado. The wind was blowing wispy clouds our way along with a late spring chill.
Fruita, CO.
