Painting with Stardust

Time
And chance
Some physics
And chemistry

All the brushes
Nature requires
To paint with stardust
On the canvas of existence

I am grateful
For Nature and her brushes
Which painted the eyes and mind
To know this beauty

Hoodoos
Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah, United States of America

Taken during travels, 1996

  Thank you, Melinda. I love that Bryce has been as inspirational for words as it was for photographs. 🙂

      Allow yourself at least month to explore Southern Utah and the Four Corners areas of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. So much stunning scenery in so many national parks. I never tire of the area.

        oh wow if I need a month then it will have to wait until I can take that much time off from my day job.

        Well, you could just pick them off one or two at a time. 😉
        
        Even a month would be scant, and you’d have to make choices about what to see.
        
        There’s just soooooo much!
        
        Here are my posts so far from Utah, just a portion of the shots I’ve taken in that state alone. 🙂

        : ) No worries.
        
        This new-fangled blogging software — with them funky tools like really good search — awesome stuff. And way better than hand coding the whole thing, like I had to with the first one. 🙂

        Oh God I recall those days of hand coding and linking everything by hand…when search was a popularity contest rather than contextual. I don’t miss those days!

        <grin> I go back and look at the first one sometimes — it’s fun. And even that version is after I ported the whole thing into Dreamworks. Remember when you thought HTML templates were the bomb?

        trying to forget those days. Though now coding has become so complex with databases and third party code. Debugging issues is a torture.

        Yep. Pretty much avoid coding now. Yay! Balance! Tranquility! 🙂
