How close can I get?!?
How close can I get?!?, originally uploaded by Bitterroot.
Taken in Marble Canyon, Arizona.
After today, I'll alter my focus and intersperse photos of different places just for a change of scene. There are a lot more southwest photos in the pipeline, but I like to vary the venue!
I'll leave this southwest series with a photo shot by my friend Paulette. She took this as I inched up to the edge of a cliff trying to capture the Horseshoe Bend scene shown below.

On the move...
I'll be away from any possibility of an Internet connection for the next week to ten days - hiking in the canyon country of northern Arizona. I fell in love with the desert a couple of years ago (here I am rounding a cliff corner and checking out the precipitous drop below!) I am very excited to be going back. Regular readers of this blog know that I love bumpy topography, and after this trip I hope to post some crags and canyons that are very different from what you usually see here. See you soon...Thursday, February 01, 2007

misty gray wraiths
drifting over dead grass
fade to blue beyond
