   Hi Chloe, Thank you very much! It’s great that you visited these out-of-the-way places – unusual even for Americans to vacation there.

   Ah – these pics remind me of my vacations in Utah and Arizona a couple of years ago…sigh. Such stunning scenery that it takes your breath away huh? Thanks for sharing your great pics – and your Haiku are excellent. I feel refreshed!

   Blueberries – good for the immune system, memory and (at a stretch) prolonging one’s years on this planet 🙂

   Hi Bluebee – I’m trying to figure that out about the blueberries… About the wild creatures – not many. Squirrels and marmots, deer. Judging from the tracks. No large mammals like bears. Interesting birds, many different from what we see in Colorado.

   Another thing added to the list of TTDBID (things to do before I die) – better eat a lot more blueberries 😀

   Yes, but you must have landscapes – and certainly animals – we don’t see here. Very exotic to us.

   You must be right, Pen – so many formations have names, like “wooden shoe”, etc.

    A beautiful set of pics of the canyons Monica , an insight into a landscape we dont have here in Australia , they intrigue me as they remind me of pics I have seen in old western movies , canyons and mesas.
    Thanks

    Subdued blue sky, and it seems so Monica, looking down at the grandeur below… I don’t know what it is about ‘rock’ shapes, pulls at the imagination I suppose … I really enjoyed your words my friend..xPenx

    Those colours in the rocks offset by what you have so aptly described as subdued blue – wow! Just magnificent. Thanks for sharing your perspectives of this amazing landscape, in words and photos, Monica.

    Excellent! I love this post! I am thinking Abbey is not the only one who loves the desert.
