Utah
 

Just got back from Utah (with a side trip of 1 and 1/2 days in Vegas). It was a cloudless sunny day, which make for very boring photos, but I did my best.

Zion National Park

And as the Sun was sinking and we were driving out of the park, we saw THESE guys.

I was using a very wide angle lens on my camera so was actually much CLOSER to the sheep than it looks in this pic. In fact I was a bit nervous when a few of the rams looked right at me and snorted.

Beautiful

An the second one with the tree barely hanging on, if I had time, I would like to paint it.

Wherever there was a crack in the rock there was a 20-40 foot tree growing out of it. I never saw that much large vegetation growing in that rocky of a place.

Some of them look surreal

Oh, here is another classic!

We walked along a short trail where all of the outdoor scenes were filmed of Kirk battling the alien Gorn. "If only he has the time Mr Chekov. If only he has the time."

Nice, very nice. Thanks for posting them.

Great pics Randy!

My favorite is the one with the rams. It looks like a painting!

Re: Utah
 

Thanks. I wish I could show just how close I was to this heard. A few rams turned around and snorted at me and I realized I was screwed if they decided to charge.
