Back on track...

It's been a while since I did a random photo of the week, so here's one of my favorites of the Colorado River in Moab. I love how serene and colorful the river is. You virtually never see the same scene twice because the colors change so drastically depending on the time of day. Did I mention I love Moab? I could quite possibly do a different photo every day for a year and not get tired of the scenery.

As promised...

This week's photo is from one of my favorite places... Moab! If you've never been there, it is definitely one of those places you HAVE to see before you die. It's THAT awesome. So when you do go, make sure you take the book Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. It is a poetic real life tale of his years as a park ranger in Arches National Park.


"But taking my meal outside by the burning juniper in the fireplace with more desert and mountains than I could explore in a lifetime open to view, I was invited to contemplate a far larger world, one which extends into a past and into a future without any limits known to the human kind. By taking off my shoes and digging my toes in the sand I made contact with that larger world-an exhilarating feeling which leads to equanimity." Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
