I’ve been in a bit of a post-show funk. Mostly working on catching up, teaching, and making a giant man-eating plant costume for my daughter’s middle school performance of Little Shop of Horrors. I had grand ideas of writing a long blog about the amazing rocks I saw in the SW. I have many, many photos.

So here is the beginning of that in bite size pieces. This is from outside Zion National Park. It was just a spot along the road where we pulled off and spent time climbing around on the amazing formations.

I love the way the strata of the formation splits off and the way the color of the lichen echoes the dark in the stone. Below is another shot from the same location, larger scale. The movement and flow are amazing. Lots of inspiration here.
