I had two days in a row off, so we hightailed it out of the city and went North to
Zion Natl Park, Utah
We feel so immensely blessed to be experiencing much of this country's beauty while finishing residency...Zion is a photographer's paradise as light and diversity dance throughout the canyon moment to moment. You must make time for this place in your vacation schedule during your lifetime!
Photos are in no particular order


Canyon Overlook Hike

The Trail to Angels Landing...this is the easy part.

You captured so much of the essence of Zion in your photos. Oh how we miss that place. Our Grace was born in the house where we lived just across the street from the Desert Pearl. We celebrated the day we found out we were pregnant with her with a hike to the top of Angels Landing. And all our memories from Zion are so rich with beauty. How wonderful that you got to experience that beauty for a few days, too.
