Day 327 Rock Man
Wednesday, November 23 – A really neat rock formation up Snow Canyon. Do you see the 2nd face on the right side? That one looks almost like a lion. I love the glow inside the ‘mouth’.

Tuesday, November 22 – We were hiking in Snow Canyon, outside of St. George, and ran into this baby tarantula venturing down the trail. I was very glad that it’s mom wasn’t traveling with it. The little guy was traveling in high gear and didn’t like posing much.
Monday, November 21 – Loved Zion and loved the workshop. We worked in Lightroom so much and that is something I have been wanting to fine tune. I learned so much and feel pretty comfortable with it now. What a marvelous tool for photographers and much more user friendly than Photoshop. Loved learning to make my own presets and using the editing tools that are there. A truly awesome workshop!! And my traveling companion wasn’t too bad either!! Here’s to Kimmie and to putting up with me.
Sunday, November 20 – Just one more tree shot to share before my final goodbye to the Zion adventure.
Saturday, November 19 – Sounds like everyone is coming to watch the Cat/Griz game here. Not somewhere I would want to be is at that game in person – brrr. Here is a place I would much rather be right now.
Friday, November 18 – I am actually back home again now. Nasty weather out and I miss the warm weather down south. It is blowing and snowing and very cold. Supposed to be around zero tonight. Yuck!!! I hate winter!!! I think it has something to do with age. Tiff is here with her boys and they are taking a nap right now giving me time to catch up with my blog photo. One last look at a few from Antelope Canyon. Kimmie and I also ventured over to Death Valley and Vegas on our way home. So I have lots more to share from there and from the begining of our trip.

Thursday, November 17 – The group made a stop at Horseshoe Bend in Page on our way back home. Not a place had any desire to ever see except in photos and without me behind the lens. I got this close to just shoot Bob, one of my traveling buddies from the workshop. I can not tell you have terrifying I found this place. Goosebumps are on my arms just thinking about it. It is far worse than the Grand Canyon and even Walter has to say that he was frightened of the danger there. No guard rails and 1000ft straight over a leaning edge. I did make the hike over and am glad that I have now seen from a safe distance what everyone was talking about.
Wednesday, November 16 – This tumbleweed was in a very dark corner of the canyon allowing just enough light in to give that nice red illumination to the rocks. Thank heavens no one came walking into the frame while it was exposing.
Tuesday, November 15 – My favorite spot in the canyon to capture a shot and someone beat me to it. There was a photographer from Europe who was doing some documentary shooting in the canyon and had his big camera set on a timed exposure right where I wanted to shoot. There was no time to wait until he was through, so I shot this including his rig and all. I think it tells alot about why photographers are drawn here.
Tuesday, November 15 – The group even got to visit my very favorite place, upper Antelope Slot Canyon in Page, AZ. What a spritual place and so full of beauty. I just got my first Shuterfly printed book back from previous trips from here and love the remembrances. It was so much fun to see it at a different time of year than I have been here before. No sun beams, but beautiful just the same. Not too busy and we spent a full 3 hours in the canyon shooting up a storm. Here is a shot from right beyond the entrance giving a sense of what is to come.
