The Beauty of Central Utah

I never tire of the views of Capitol Reef and the Henry Mountains  in the background, seen from the Aqueous Plateau of Boulder Mountain.

Utah-Arizona - a few favorite shots

 The Betatakin Ruin, Navajo National Monument, Arizona

 A view of Keet Seel, Navajo National Monument, AZ, a spectacular, well preserved Anasazi ruin and an interesting hike.

 Grinding stones at Keet Seel

 Lower Calf Creek Falls, a nice place to cool off and have a picnic in Escalante country

 Hell's Backbone, an exciting scenic drive in the Escalante region

 Desert Storm in central Utah

The Grand Gallery, Horseshoe Unit, Canyonlands National Park-a fantastic panel of pictographs and petroglyphs said one of the finest examples of "Anasazi" art so far discovered. The hike to this fairly remote location is fun and interesting.

Thinking About Grandma

My grandmother was a very successful midwife. She was licensed to practice before Utah became a state and, I understand, she did not lose a patient; she delivered about 500 babies.
