    I love the landscape of the West as a whole. So much natural beauty.

    You take beautiful pictures with your phone! What kind is it? It takes wonderful pictures. :) I love exploring the wild; there’s something about never knowing what comes next that is so exciting!

    When I was decades younger (about 10), my family took a trip through the Black Hills, and I remember looking at the landscape and having no clue as to its proportions, or how near or far away it was. The last 3 of your pictures give me that same sense. Am I looking at landscapes that could hold a family within them, or at 1 square foot of rock right in front of you? I could probably make a case either way . . .

    Stuck in Arkansas after years of living in Arizona, I ache for the West. Thanks for this little glimpse.

    There are so many long ago secrets in sandstone cliffs. I love exploring them.

    The top picture looks like a Buddha meditating in the rock face. You have a wonderful eye for the interesting patterns of light and dark and the variations of earth that can look flaky, solid, windblown or even as if it is melting. Thank you for reminding me of how complex and interesting reality is compared to the stereotypes inside my mind of earth as a flat brown surface meant only as a stage for other things.

    Wow… this adventure continues to astound every day, doesn’t it? Every step you take, every corner you turn, there’s a feast for the eyes. Actually, a feast for all your senses. Loved the pics – thanks for sharing.

    I agree with Belle: I hope you get to stay another month. I know the weather is so tricky in September and early October, and you may have to have good weather just to move the farmily back to your other home. How fun to have a 2nd home that is all wilderness. :)

    I love your blog. It is so inspiring and prompts me to dig deeper so I will (try to) write for my own blog. Thank you.

    Shreve creates art even with her cell phone – simply amazing!

    Your skill as a photographer clearly surpasses your tools, or rather brings out the best in them. I can smell the evergreens, feel the heat radiating back from the rocks…

    I was mesmerized by rocks this summer, too! (road trip to Southern Colorado & Utah) Only wish I could’ve recorded that spicy, slightly rootbeery scent of the evergreens all around them.
