Utah, No. 3, Route 24, Part 1
Back in May 1997, I spent some time in Utah on a Southwestern USA month long vacation. Part of the time, I traveled along Route 24 in Utah seeing many impressive and beautiful sights. Here is just the beginning of what I saw.

We love the same things, Tim!
Looks like a whole lot of squirrels! Or is that just me and my cataracts? ;o)
Cool. I especially love the first picture.
I've seen what your picture captures but I've never once thought that they would come out so beautifully. The pictures are so amazing, it reminds me of what I miss out on enjoying in everyday life. You surely have a "eye" for those good things in life. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more interesting pics.
PS: what camera do you use? do you use any graphics editor to improvise?
In France we'ld pay a lot to have in our garden your wild flower !
I wonder if it's not the case and if it'snt solded in our green houses !
I really like the photo of the twisted tree limbs! That's my kind of picture!!!!
I did a lot of hiking and staring in awe at the beauty of the landscape when I was in Utah. I like how you can just pull of the road onto public land and explore to your hearts content!! I wish we had that here.
Hello, Tim, how are you? I just appeared to say 'hi'. I hope you are doing well.
See you soon.
The first picture looks rather like an abstract painting!
Wow, I was eriously afraid fpr a second taht there would be snake hiding amongst those twisted branches. My primal terror instinct was kicking in!
Hi, ginnie. Isn't it amazing sometimes how much we have in common with one another?
Hi, san nakji. Maybe one can imagine a lot of squirrels on it but only in one's imagination. :)
Thanks, bobby. Glad you find it enjoyable.
Welcome back, chez. Long time no hear from you. Thanks for your comments. These pictures came from a Canon film SLR camera that I no longer use. I've gone digital. I now use either a Canon digital SLR or the Canon PowerShot A80 which is small enough for me to carry around in my pocket. If a picture needs editing, I most often use Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.
Hi, cergie. It is a beautiful wildflower, isn't it?
Hi, ava. Utah and its public lands are a beautiful place. It would be nice to have such large public land areas around here, too. But at least where I live there are an abundance of small parks.
Hi, aluadacbs. Good hearing from you again. I am doing well. I trust you are well also?
Hi, tai. It does almost look abstract. But it's real. So maybe the abstract actually has its origins in nature?
Hi, minka. No, I don't think there was any snake there when I took the picture. But isn't funny what our minds and imaginations can do to us?
Nice shots--interesting that you posted "micro' shots as most people there use wide angle shots to get as much of the landscape as possible and sometimes overlook the beauty in something as small as a flower or a trunk.
Thanks, sage. I believe that beauty is found in the small as well as the large. To miss either one or the inbetween is to be minus a blessing. There will be some wide angle views coming in future posts.
The colour in all your nature pics are so vivid,and the pics taken back in 1997 could have well been shot yesterday.. they are timeless Tim!
Thanks, consise10. It's a joy to take and post photos such as these. They express something of who I am.
Wow! That first picture is so neat.
Great pictures. I was in Utah in 1997 on a months vacation through the midwestern states too. We may have crossed paths.
