Molly and I left our campground in Red Fleet State Park in Utah and drove north through a bit of Wyoming and into Idaho. Of all the spectacular sights we saw on our cross-country trip, that day was filled with astonishingly varied and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. We traveled through at least five exceedingly different terrains; verdant forests, red, rugged, craggy mountains, flat dry plains and the white hills shown in today's header, all devoid of human habitation. We were impressed with how much of this country's western states can't support much human activity; a man in Eastern Colorado said a person with less than 10,000 acres is considered a "hobby farmer"! We learned that our Eastern and West Coastal expectation of finding gas whenever and wherever we needed it was a foolish assumption. On this particular day we gratefully pulled into a gas station in a tiny town with only fumes left in the tank.
I knew this was Utah....been there! LOL The desert landscape of the state is awe inspiring isn't it? Love the photo share.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday Photo Do hope you can find time to visit with me.
Natures Rubies are the best. Love the colors of the hills and valleys.
ReplyDeleteMy ruby link for you
Wonderful! These photos show very distinctive forms of hills showing the strata of colours accumulated over time, and ridges made by the elements. The tree growth patterns are also interesting. Love reading your observations.
ReplyDeleteOh wow this place is breath taking!! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy your observations equally as well as your images, Mary. I mentioned this in my last comment. The hills and valleys in this post are just gorgeous. I have not long returned from a trip through the NW of Australia through relativel similar (but totally different!) landscapes. I do like your header image, too.
ReplyDeleteNow to 'Followers". I hope you receive each visitor's comment as an email. That makes it easier to know when someone (like me) has made a comment on an older post. I will talk you through that process, too, if necessary.
You noticed your 'Followers' box now has 3 people listed, right? I have quite a few more but have been going since 2007, so it is to be expected. To become your Follower I clicked on that box on your blog, which brought up another screen asking me if I wanted to Follow and with which identity. Well I only have one identity. What you see is me. So I said I wanted to follow 'publicly' with my Google identity. Now each time I go to your blog I am recognised. It is mainly a mark of respect for blogs that I enjoy going to. I am not aware of any hazzards in the process.
Let me know if this is sufficient explanation for this process or, indeed, if there is anything else that you might appreciation being walked through.
with my warmest regards
Julie
