morning sun arrives
touching tips of trees and stone
rosy dawn below
stenciled on sandstone
sharp shadows in canyon depths
time passes slowly
weeping water wall
streaking wash of minerals
painted upon time

Gorgeous, gorgeous photos, Richard. I particularly like the line "stenciled in sandstone."
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job here!
PS: I just added a Follower gadget TODAY, so you may be lapping me with your blog savvy. :)

ReplyDeleteMany people pass by Cedar Breaks on their way to the more popular Zion. Fewer people at Cedar, especially early mornings; the time to capture these shots. Hope you can visit Utah someday.
Thank you for liking my photos and writing. It's been enriching for me to communicate with a writer like you.
Gratefully,
Richard
Stunning photography, Daddy! Utah has a special place in both our hearts, I know. So glad I got to hike with you in Zion - the Narrows hike you & Mom & I did will stay with me forever.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line this round is from the "Weeping Wall" photo, "painted upon time". I love the more poetic ones, with vivid imagery.
Keep 'em coming, Daddio! : )
Love,
Sarah

ReplyDeleteYes, Utah will always remain painted in our memories for all the hikes we've taken there as a family. Remember, we were in a current above our knees when I took that photo, during our wade up the Virgin River in "The Narrrows".
Thanks for "liking" WWFN.
Love,
Dad
