Looking In
I feel like I’ve been looking in on my own blog lately instead of running it. I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, but am starting to feel human again. Should have things back in order soon…
Winter Desert Light
I enjoyed going through my UT images the other day, enough so that I thought I’d do another post. This image was taken in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument during March of 2006, a very chilly time of the year to visit the desert.
