Greens

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utaha.trail.in Bryce Canyon--see the person?
somewhere in Utah.  I love the layers of various green colors in this landscape.
on our way to Zion National Park, Utah
entering Zion National Park.  Notice the red road.

Zion National Park--Emerald Pool

Zion National Park

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, North Rim.  A storm is coming up.

These are a few of my favorite photos from a trip to Utah in the late Summer of 2010.  I love the colors in all of them.  Some landscapes show stark vibrant contrasts--azure blue sky, sandy orange-red rock, vibrant forest green foliage, perhaps even a puffy white cloud.  Others have muted shades and layering of colors.

    Great theme for the letter G! I agree with Edi that I'm always in need of some green this time of year. The photo with the storm coming in is my favorite. All of the pictures are gorgeous, though!

    Pretty pictures of green. I wonder if we are going to have much green around here with the drought and heat we experienced this summer.

    Your photos are always so beautiful! It's very green in Oregon all year round! Our grass never goes brown either.

    how beautiful (and stark, in some cases) the landscape is. Love the look of Emerald Pond and the view of the Grand Canyon. The US has a lot of desert! {:-D
