Fall break hike with Kasia in Zion's National Park

Zion's National Park

One of my favorite parks to photograph. 

It has been photographed by many thousands of people 

but it is always fun to have your own photos.

As a photographer though I have tried to hone in on

trees in the parks where I photograph.

There are so many and to me they represent hard work and 

perseverance.  Traits many of us should practice.

It was fun to have Kasia along with us that day.

Marie decided to wait at the car for this little hike.

Then she came with us a little later.

Kasia got to play queen of the mountain again

only this time the climb was no challenge at all

from the back side.

I love my girls. Was glad to have them with me.

When I was young a family 

could stop their car in the tunnel 

at this portal, can't do that now

but I have vivid memories of doing it then.

 

Fall break hike with Kasia in Snow Canyon

Marie and I had a great time with Kasia 

hiking on trails in Snow Canyon State Park near St George Ut.

 Lots of little caves.

and big ones.

 And this rock that we climbed to the top. 

You will see pictures of Kasia on top further into the blog.

This was cooming off of that rock.

A view of Marie while she was waiting for us to come down.

Kasia on the very top.

 Kasia gong up. 

It was not real easy but was OK.

This was from the inside of one of the volcano tubes.

Kasia and I could have gone a lot deeper than

but I don't particularly care for

 skinny, jagged holes to crawl through.

They are hiding from the camera, almost.

A friend from the trail.

We had just emerged from a small 

slot and decided to take pictures.

Another friend.

We had both rocks and sand to hike on which to hike.

I preferred the rocks.

not the sand

 A roadrunner that I didn't see.

Marie saw it though.

Fun times.
