Quiet Stream

The first stop on our little road trip was a stream and waterfall. To get there we hiked up a trail to a stream.

Then we hiked along the stream bed.

It was very pretty and peaceful.

Come back next week to see the waterfall, or visit Our World Tuesday for more photos from around our world.

Mighty Mississippi

This week's Skywatch Friday photo is from the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Louis, where we were for a couple of days last week. The skies were mostly grey but the sun broke through before we went up the famous Arch.

River Rafting

Here's a scanned 1993 print from a river rafting trip I took on the Arkansas River, in the mountains of Colorado.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

The Black Canyon itself is spectacular. Unfortunately there was substantial cloud cover much of the time, but I was still able to get a couple of shots that give an idea of the grandeur of the setting. Here's one looking into the canyon.

This shot is of Painted Wall, Colorado's tallest wall with a height of 2,250 feet. You can't get an idea of its size from this picture, but believe me, it's an impressive cliff!
