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...

drifting over dead grass
fade to blue beyond
