It's about time that I reciprocated! <br /><br />The Western half of the US is really different I suspect from the Eastern half and even the mid section. Much of CA is so arid and is really desert even though there are houses set down right in the middle. It's really all beautiful though isn't it, no matter where you live.<br /><br />If nothing else the trip gave me some much needed vacation time. Even housewives need a break once in awhile, OK? LOL!<br /><br />Hope that you are doing well and that your week is off to a good start. Thanks for the visit.<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-64046352117059689022016-04-25T11:21:41.544-07:002016-04-25T11:21:41.544-07:00Dear Libby your photos are awesome.

Zion National Park looks magnificent. The terrain out west is so completely different than ours. So rocky and wild. So happy you shared Libby. I am sure once you have time to assimilate all you encountered you will be busy creating some art work. I will be looking forward to it. Have a great week.

I think just as you wrote that in time the images will have their influence. I also suspect that just allowing myself to not feel pressured to relate the work to the trip will help. Funny how we get ourselves into a psychological quandary.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well. Thank you for the visit.<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-88913164182275084142016-04-22T09:45:46.243-07:002016-04-22T09:45:46.243-07:00Beautiful photos of a wonderful trip.

I think I liked it even better than Zion. It was vast but more intimate if that makes sense. I felt a closer connection to things there. And you are right, seeing the water marks was definitely an eye opener. We in the West are all in sorry shape aren't we? <br /><br />Incidentally, New Mexico and Colorado are next on the list for traveling. As soon as I recover from this trip I will be thinking about the next trip:)<br /><br />I am glad that you enjoyed the photos. It's really nice to share what I saw.<br />Thanks again,<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-24244937502901250162016-04-22T06:55:09.869-07:002016-04-22T06:55:09.869-07:00I really enjoyed the photos and reading your obser...I really enjoyed the photos and reading your observations. You write so well it helped me recall my own enjoyable visits to the region. I have a sketch book of Snow Canyon I have to try and fine. It has been years...<br />I remember feeling I was inside a National Geographic magazine when I first hit the area. I had never seen anything like the earth formations before. <br />The watermarks being so much lower on the rivers and lakes is quite sobering. <br />Happy you enjoyed the trip, and yes, it may be a year before anything comes out in your art... Or maybe next week!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.com
