and tell a different
a story in everyone.

The Wave, March 2012 4 comments
Image by kenne
Climbing the dunes surrounding the wave
we entered silence and was glad to be in it,
knowing we could only stay for awhile.
By the time we readied to leave
others were beginning to arrive
breaking the wave of silence.
When I think of our visit to the wave
I recall how our combined senses’ of direction
was put to the challenge on our way out
since the path was not a trail but knowing
that if we stayed true to our direction,
we would end up where we began.

Capturing The Moment — Desert Dead Wood 2 comments
“Desert Dead Wood” — Image by kenne
“One by one her limbs succumb
to weight of vine and snow.
Winds blow hard, she cannot bend
her roots let go, she tips, and then . . .
her lumbering carcass comes to rest
amongst the rocks and flowers
in the understory of her youth.
Prayerful chipmunks eulogize.
Mulching worms and micro-organisms
tenderize what’s left of her.
Old molecules and rare earth ions
seek asylum in the rain, penetrate the hairy roots,
and rise up through the xylem of her progeny.”

The Color of earth
A wave minus sea water
Time to wave good-bye.
I April of this year a group of us from southern Arizona hikes the Wave in Coyote Buttes. You can see the photos and learn of our experience by visiting the related articles below. I’m sure there will be future postings revisiting the experience and maybe some return trips to this wonderful land.

The Wave — Almost There! 6 comments
The last part of the hike to the Wave is up a steep slop of sand and bedrock — makes one appreciate the Wave even more.

I’m slowly getting through all the photos taken at the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and rather than wait to all are uploaded, I will be posting a few teasers — they are all beautiful, even if I say so myself.

Nature And Hiking Companions Provide For A Trip Of A Lifetime 8 comments
Pat and Tom Markey on HWY 89 near the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument just south of Page, Arizona
We just returned from a trip to the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, near Lake Powell and Page, Arizona. This remote and unspoiled monument is a geologic treasure in northern Arizona and southern Utah is a must see area containing Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes and Paria Canyon. Our planned trip, lead by Dean Perron, was to hike into The Wave in Coyote Buttes. Since it is difficult to not get plenty of beautiful photos of one of natures masterpieces, I have many I will be sharing in later posting.
Scenic view of the Vermilion Cliff along HWY 89.
The Vermilion Cliffs is one of the newest national monuments (established in 2000). This scenic region is marked only by a few signposts, remaining without any visitor facilities or other improvements — leaving it as a place where people explore by themselves. Administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), it remains a region where most tourists pass by in route to the Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon or Lake Powell.

The Wave In March 3 comments
Source: National Geographic
This March 19-22, five fellow hikers and I will be hiking the Wave in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The February National Geographic issue has an article on this beautiful area, titled, “Rock of Ages.” The photography is by Richard Barnes, one of which is shown above. I hope to return with a lot of beautiful images of this natural landscape.
