I was thrilled when Cathy over at Largeself.com agreed to be my next guest blogger - and as always I definitely was not disappointed with her post. Cathy was one of the first people to ever comment on my blog, I believe she said one of my posts was ‘well written’ and I remember blushing a little as my husband high-fived his ‘little author wife’ -jumping the gun there just a bit but it was a nice moment and Cathy was the reason behind it (Thanks Cathy).
Sophie over at savedindrafts recently asked me if I'd like to do a guest blog post for her. So...here it is! Let me know what you think! And thanks, Soph, for the blog love!

I love this picture so much.
Thanks, Crystal. Moab, Utah – one of my favorite places in the world!
The US west simply has so much great color. … and oh … nice poem to match.
Thank you, Frank. This is a shot I took on a hike in Moab, Utah – less than a day’s drive from my home.
Rub it in!
Sorry…:-)
I am amazed at Nature’s sculpting and painting. I’ve not been to this section of the country (walking around and SEEING it) but I’ve talked to those that have. Some describe it as amazing, awesome — all those words we rely on when words fail us. A friend of mine told me there was a place, Sedona, AZ, I believe where the air is electric with a something — a buzzing spiritual thing — ? I know this is what Utah looks like (I’ve been to the airport there and seen the magnificence of the mountains) but I’ve not explored it up close and personal. Beautiful! Now I’m off to drink in your post.

Brigitte,
Yes, these places are really beyond description and words do fail to capture the color, the sky, the air – all of it is one big sensory explosion! The rock formations in Moab are similar to those in Sedona, AZ. I’ve been there twice and it is a very special place. Most people talk about energy vortices in Sedona – and actually, I would agree that it’s possible to feel those – but even if not, it does feel like a very positive place. As always, thank you for your wonderful and supportive comments, Brig. I so appreciate you.

I recently visited the Red Rock Amphitheater. Gorgeous around there. Nice post.
Hi Carrie,
Yes! Red Rocks Amphitheater is an amazing place. I’ve been to several concerts there and it is really amazing at night when you sit in the stands and look out over the city of Denver. There are lots of nice hikes around there in the daytime, too! Were you there for a concert?
Cathy
No. Just sightseeing.
Your eye consistently impresses me. Another great shot.
Thanks, V. With scenery like this it’s hard to mess up!
There is some kind of quiet serenity in the barreness of these rocks. Funny how that works where less is just right.
So true…It does feel serene in these places. Whenever we go to Moab, there is wonderful road that starts in a barren desert and gradually descends to these magnificent rocks by the Colorado River and I can literally feel my whole nervous system relaxing with a lovely sigh. Thank you for stopping by!
