A Change of Scenery

We had a brief change of scenery from our snowy mountain peaks and pine forests to the rocky canyonlands of Utah.
I adore the desert sky. It's so dark that the Milky Way stands out, and zillions of stars glitter overhead.
I have a few stories and photos to share... in future days. I hope to be around to visit many of you very soon!

  3. Those are the most beautiful photos. I was in Utah many years ago visiting a friend. It was summer and we laid on her back porch and I couldn't believe how gorgeous the night sky was. We saw several falling stars. No matter how much you describe it to someone they can't understand the beauty until they see it themselves. I hope you guys had a great trip. Glad you made it home safely!

  4. That sky is so beautiful! I've never been to the desert, but I'll admit it freaks me out a bit. I'm a Florida girl, and not seeing vibrant green, lots of water and tons of humidity is weird to me. :p

  8. I hope you are battened down and withstand the gusts we are supposed to have. We are hoping the storm warning doesn't fizzle. So far, not much is happening here. Glad you had a break. I, too, love the desert sky. Happy season to you, KB.

  25. Such a fantastic night sky!! I agree, the night sky in the desert is something very special.

    We have been to Canyonlands several times, mainly in the winter. It's an area that has captured my heart. However, since it is quite a drive from her, over Thanksgiving week we went to the Valley of Fire in Nevada - tent camping. Quite chilly during the night, but very comfortable during the days. I love the desert.
