I was looking through some of my archives of the American Southwest and found a few to share from a trip I took a couple years ago. We were on our way to adopt a dog at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. We ended up coming home with two. But that is another story.Zion National Park is a photographers dream. There is something about the magical light that bounces off those red cliffs and mountains giving everything a fiery glow. Rose colored glasses are not needed. I am reminded of the old vintage travel magazine covers and took my inspiration from them. And remember, I appreciate your comments on my work. Your critiques help me to stretch and grow. Cheers!

We traveled there about 6 years ago and it was one of the most beautiful parks we'd ever been in. Beautiful photos, Julie!
