This will be an almost wordless Wednesday... because I need a few words to tell you what the photos show. They focus on a sunset hike that we took above Black Dragon Canyon on a huge expanse of slickrock.
 |
| This mountain of sandstone stood next to an endless field of slickrock. |
 |
| The slickrock as I looked back down toward our campsite. |
 |
| The sun began to set, and the Duo couldn't look toward it for a photo. |
 |
| I released the Duo and K started trotting toward the west. |
 |
| K forged ahead and I captured her as she stopped directly in front of the setting sun. She looks like an angel. |
 |
| After sunset, we looked down into Black Dragon Canyon. You can see the sharp edges cut by the occasional raging torrents of water. |
Almost simultaneous with our slickrock hike in Utah, back at home, a mountain lion walked past one of my trail cameras. He is wearing a radio collar as part of a study of mountain lion biology in my area.
 |
| He sniffed the base of a tree. |
 |
| Then, he departed, with his long lithe tail trailing behind him. |
I'm happy too. Nature in balance is a good thing, I believe!
ReplyDeleteOh wow that last photo of K is just stunning!

Oh K- you look like you are "feeling the moment" as you stand in that siloute!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can feel those sun beams shine on both K and R!
I am glad that mountain lions came to show you that they are okay!

That looks like a most unkind hike to me, one that takes a good deal of careful hiking! Or is it just old news to you all??
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
That backlit picture of K should be in a calendar somewhere! Please tell me you're going to frame it and hang it on a wall. Your pictures make me wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that the mountain lions are back! I hope we see a lot of them this spring and summer. :)
All in all, a great day to be alive-- Truly living and feeling the universal balance that hums through the canyons, K, the mountain lions, the setting sun. You are blessed.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure!

Grat pictures again. K on the mountin is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour trail camera is very good. Very sharp pictures. Could actually a lion attack you if you meet them? Or are they very shy and you never see them?
That shot of K had me going WOW!
ReplyDeleteAND Khyra said NICE KHYTTY!!!
K does look like an angel!!
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing, amazing pictures!! I have never seen anything like that and it just puts me in an awe state! Beautiful picture of K. She really is an earth angel. :) And how wonderful that you can capture pictures of the mountain lions when they return to your area, they are so majestic looking!

Lions and tigers and bears oh my! You sure do get to see it all. What an amazing part of the world to live.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the Duo. I would like to think that they are really laughing hard in that photo.
And of course there's that picture of K. An Angel indeed!

ReplyDeleteYour pictures never cease to have me in awe because they are just stunning!
ReplyDeleteI got excited when one of my favorite birds returned, I can only imagine your feeling knowing the beautiful mountain lion is nearby! :-)
K's sunset photo is BEAUTIFUL!! Is it weird that I just want to scratch that big kitty's ears? Probably would end poorly, huh?
ReplyDeleteMamma Heartbeat
Wow, absolutely breath taking photos. I love the one of K on the hill in the sunset. Awesome. Sniffs, The HoundDogs

While I think all of your photos are beautiful...that one of K against the sun is gorgeous. She is truly an angel here on Earth!That one should be enlarged and framed!
