Bryce Canyon

I know, still a little (a lot) behind in my postings.  We've been home from our vacation for a week now and I'm still back in Utah.  ;)

In this video we're excited because we're on our way to Bryce Canyon:

We woke up super duper early to get the sunrise.

Mike's Sunrise picture

I love my tree picture.

And Mike snapped one of me waiting for the lighting to get right.

It's not as good as it could have been.  a big dark cloud ended up hiding the sunrise.

Me getting another little video.  The path is narrow, so people have to wait for me.

We drove up over 10,000 feet elevation to see a little snow.

This tree grew around the other tree.  

We began the hike down this way and came back up it, too.  Poor Mike.

My little rock sculpture.

Santa Fe, NM

The oldest church in America.

The oldest house in Santa Fe.

Deep windows, shadows and more contrast.

The miraculous staircase in the Loretto Chapel.

A little nook on the outside of someone's adobe home.

Just some pots I saw on the ground in some alleyway.

Everyone hangs chili peppers as a welcome sign.

I'm in love with the adobe walls and stark contrast of the vivid colors against it, especially the turquoise and the bright blues.

So many good restaurants but our favorite one was Harry's Roadhouse.  It was on the same road as our campground and on the way to the historic part of town.  We ended up having the pot roast and would highly recommend it.  In fact, I just discovered their cookbook on Amazon and bought it.  Cannot wait to surprise Michael with that dish!

I really like the mailboxes. 

In The Plaza.

I thought this artist looked a little like Brad Pitt.  He was very nice!

These are a couple of his amazing sculptures created from various stones.

Pretty room.

A sweet little birdie.

We bought some chili peppers for our front porch.

And Michael wanted one of these guys, so he got one.

I want to paint this scene, just something I snapped while walking by.

Wonderful art everywhere.

Can you guess?

A gorgeous glass wall outdoor sculpture.

We visited the Museum of Folk Art.  You can get lost in that place!
