Some humans relax in natural places,
and are less content in human spaces.
While other’s thrive in the social whirl,
a nature’s soul will find depth of meaning,
far from the thrum of a human being.
Nature’s souls go to wild spaces,
for it is here they find their sacred places.
Cheers to you from a nature’s soul~
Beautiful landscapes.
So happy you enjoyed and enjoy your Sunday my friend~
Thanks. You too!
That cactus flower and eagle are amazing. I’m enjoying your travels, Cindy. I wonder where we’re going next??
We are home now for quite a long spell, until March, unless we go skiing. Next you and I are going to Greece & Eastern Europe and after that Iceland and Greenland. Have a wonderful TG Patti and my travels are so much more meaningful (and fun) with you along~ ❤
Thanks, Cindy. I’m looking forward to them! We’ll have to compare notes when my husband and I are ready to plan our next big trip.
Be happy too!

Very beautiful! 🙂
Merci beaucoup mon ami~
Arches National Park has always been one of my favorites in the United States for its ability to reflect light and shadow in such incredible ways. Also perhaps because it gives those of us who like to “relax in natural spaces” scope to do so. 🙂 You have captured its essence beautifully!
Ah, I hear you and agree wholeheartedly! It is a magical spacious places that immediately calms your psyche & soul. Cheers to you & thank you~
The images are so comforting, and that flower was a gem, sneaked in and waiting when i least expected to see a flower!
That is exactly how it felt when I found it! Thank you & cheers too~
th eagle and the flower ended this post with a BAM!
but the whole post is nature wonder…. thanks Cindy – made my night
Ahhh, you just made my morning! Grazie~
🙂
Gorgeous photos Cindy. I’m definitely in the go to nature to soothe and nurture camp. 🙂
That’s why we get along! Happy Thanksgiving week my friend~
Agreed. Time for some gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving!
❤
Beautiful pictures! They make me want to visit Canyonlands National Park someday.
I hope you do and include Arches & Zion too!
Fabulous shot of that fluffy bald eagle!
He’s looking a bit annoyed isn’t he!! 😉
He probably doesn’t like paparazzi.. 📷
Exactly!
These photos had me longing to get back to Arizona. Just beautiful. ❤
Yes, Red Rock country is magical and I hope you do go back!
I’m crossing my fingers for March! 🙂

Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much for the like. 🙂
As usual, we never get tired of looking at your wonderful photos. We love the way you capture Mother Nature’s raw beauty. 🙂
From one nature lover to another, I am honored and humbled by your kind comments. Thank you~
Beautiful!
Muchas gracias amiga mia~
Thank you Cindy you are awesome! 🙂
❤
Thanks for these (and all your other) glorious photos, Cindy. There is so much beauty, color, life, and magic in the desert. Amid my amazement, I’m a little sorry for those who exclaim “It’s all brown!” Mega hugs.
Yes, I see these landscapes as you do Teagan. Perception is fascinating. People can look at the same object in remarkably different ways. Donald Trump is a good example of this~

Fabulous photos!!
I wished you lived closer as I need some nature shots of Delaware for my new blog design…these are amazing!
Oh, that would be fun! I wish I did too~ ❤
Thank you Cindy. 🙂
This place has a serene beauty, nature can go beyond our dreams, or at least I think I saw places like this in Utah just in my dreams. Thank you very much, Cindy. n_n
You sound like you are in touch with your collective unconscious which is wonderful!
Gorgeous! We need to go back there again. I am very impressed with your depth of field in that cactus flower photo!
Thank you! I am touched and most appreciative & I hope you do go back~
Amazing places and pics
I am so glad you think so & thank you Mariel!
Thank you Cindy, you’re the best. 🙂
Visa versa 2UX2! ❤ ❤
Yes, this is beyond extraordinary. I agree with Dorinda. Wow!
Hugs to you Robin~ ❤
Absolutely breath taking. You have captured Mother Nature again. :o)
Ah, thank you. She is like a beautiful sunrise, one can never get enough of her! ❤
Thank you Cindy. 🙂

Cindy, I love your photos. Are you using a digital camera? A few years ago I went to Colorado to volunteer on a dig and your photos of Arches National Park reminded me of Colorado so much I had to look the park up to find out where it was. Such beautiful countryside and you’ve captured it perfectly. I was only in Utah a few hours checking out a site people can tour but the scenery in the 4 corners states struck a chord with me. (I am a big Ansel Adams fan so that clinched it for me.) Thanks for sharing your amazing photos.
Thank you for such thoughtful and kind comments. The red rock country is unique, amazing and quite spiritual. I keep going back and it sounds like you may want to also! I use a digital camera, a sony hx400. I keep waiting for the 500 but it looks like sony may stop the line which would be sad for me.
Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much for the like. 🙂

Gorgeous…. and one of my favorite parts of the world. I’m going to use them in the next newsletter! Thanks.
Awww, Mother Nature, and I thank you my friend and Happiest New Year to you! Love your newsletter!
I’m glad you like it!
❤
Cindy, I need your help. Since we are only using photos in the newsletter and not the text, Nature’s Soul doesn’t work well. I’ve been thinking of something like The Magnificent Utah Canyonlands but I don’t know what is best. Then it occurred to me I could ask you! What would be a good title for the Utah photos?
How would Land of Light and Shadow work? Or, Utah’s Canyon’s of Light and Shadow. Please feel free though to use whatever you come up with that might work better. I am just honored by your thoughtfulness and so pleased the photos are useful to you and the newsletter.
I like it! Thanks.
How about “Utah: Land of Light and Shadow”. It sounds good; do you think it is accurate?
Yes I do. So much light, so much shadow, mirroring the same thing in all of us~
Thanks so much for helping me figure it out. I was stumped on a title for that one. I just had another thought. Would “Utah: Land of Light and Shadows” be better?
Yes it would! I love that! ❤
Beautiful❤
This is a beautiful post and the images are simply breathtaking
You are lovely to say this. Thank you! ❤
