Head in the clouds...

When scattered clouds are resting on the bosoms of hills, it seems as if one might climb into the heavenly region, earth being so intermixed with sky, and gradually transformed into it.  

~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Can you see it?

Abajo/Blue Mountains, near Monticello, Utah

The other day, I had the opportunity to drive through the rugged terrain of southern Utah. Near the small town of Monticello are the Blue Mountains. On one of the peaks of the mountain range the vegetation has grown in such a way as to create the illusion of a blaze-faced horse, leading it to be called Horsehead Peak.

It's a little grainy, but here is more closely cropped picture of the peak.

Evening

As I was venturing home the other day I captured this shot of the cotton candy sky above the Book Cliffs.

Sadly, the picture doesn't do justice to how striking it really was.

Alone Looking at The Mountain

All the birds have flown up and gone;

A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.

We never tire of looking at each other -

Only the mountain and I.
