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~

Regal Eagle. Symbol our our country. America. Out of many one.
Yes, he is regal and a more than a bit annoyed with us it seems!
Beautiful, words and pictures!
Merci beaucoup mon ami~ <3
I love all your photos, they’re awesome, Cindy. 🙂
You are awesome my friend! Thank you~ <3
It is so good to share our passions. That is glorious country, and I’m so happy to have shared it as well in my own travels!
I am glad you have experienced it. Red Rock Country has a spiritual tranquility that calms your soul~
Many thanks for the many cheers you provide, today and the yesterday’s.
Ah, your thoughtful appreciation makes is so worthwhile~
Awesome! I am quite certain that most will find them relax with these images..
Oh good! We need relaxation now~ <3
WoW WoW WOW!!!!
You are a lovely friend my friend~ <3
Thank you, as are you, Cindy <3
Oh, wow, I’m breathless! Truly stunning natural beauty. Thanks for posting these, Cindy!
Ah, thank you much more Eliza for appreciating them like the true nature’s soul you are!
That I am. 😉
Great photos! The picture of the eagle is just magnificent!
Thank you! Eagles are magnificent creatures~
They are. I’ve gotten a few photos, but nothing from that close!
Nature at its best. And all at peace and rest. 🙂
Yes, My heart rate slows in natural places…..
Really beautiful, Cindy, in every way!
Makes me happy I posted! Thank you~

Beautiful article.
Muchos gracias mi amigo y abrazos tan bien~
Gorgeous gorgeous photographs that spoke to my nature’s soul. I am so much happier surrounded by nature. Where were these photos taken?
Alison xox
This is why we understand each other so well. We are both nature’s souls~ <3 The photos were taken in Utah; Moab, St George, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
Beautiful photos, beautiful words. Thanks Cindy.
Ah, wonderful to hear from you Wally and hope you are well my friend~ <3
What a remarkable cactus flower!
I thought it was the most beautiful cactus flower I have seen!
Beautiful capture…
Honored. Thank you!
your work is stunning Cindy! thank you ~ smiles hedy

Beautiful pictures. Is that Arizona or some other far off and distant land? Great blog.
Thank you, these were taken in Utah: Arches & Canyonlands National Parks, and Moab & St George.
Gorgeous photos, Cindy The last two look like relatives….
Both a bit prickly…..
The colours…just wow.
The magical palette of red rock country~
Stunning. Especially the bald eagle. Love!
I am enraptured by eagles too! Thank you & cheers to you~
Lovely photos, equally lovely words.
Lovely of you to take the time to say so. Thank you!
Stunning photos, Cindy. Of course, they’re all beautiful, but I love the reflections. Aaaah 🙂
Reflections mesmerize me too. They make us wonder at what we see.
Breathtaking pictures! Thank you for sharing them. 🙂
Thank you much more for appreciating them~
Not at all a problem. They’re gorgeous.
What amazing landscapes, Cindy. The rock formations are particularly interesting.
Leslie
They are interesting aren’t they, these ancient structures carved by natures hand~
They are indeed, Cindy.
Leslie
<3
Cheers Cindy, beautiful…
Grazie mille~
Is that Sedona? I liked the yellow beak!
Close, but these are all in Utah, Canyonlands, Arches, Moab & the outskirts of St George in Ivins.
Ahhh! Sedona is so beautiful! Tall cliffs and red plateaus…
Yes it is red rock country and it is magical!
There used to be crystals embedded in the rocks… magical to say the least… they say Sedona and Asheville NC are both spiritual hubs
Amazing breathtaking landscapes and reflections 🙂
Ahhh, makes me happy I posted. Thank you! <3
🙂 🙂
Cheers right back to you, Cuz.
There’s a peace in nature’s spaces
that can’t be found in other places.
The silence of nature quiets the soul and grants rest to a tired mind and heart, be it a desert, a mountainside, a forest, or stream or lake. In those places we find our peace. Hugs ! 🙂
Yes it does and that is why we are cousins. Nature’s soul relations~ <3
Well said. Nature is grand.
Thank you!
My God, you get some magnificent photos! And then have the audacity to put perfect words to them. Why hasn’t National Geographic called you?
The joy I receive from the kindness of people like you are more rewarding than anything to me. Thank you. <3
I see a lot of photographs and my son is a photographer. Not many do it as well as you.
Your photographs are among the most beautiful I have ever seen, including Ansel Adams.
Ahhh, humbled and honored beyond words Charles. He is the undefeated master.

Very well-stated…Cindy perfectly captures the wild hears of those of us who live in Nature – wherever we are.

I love this comment. Nature is everywhere. We can find the solace of nature in the green spaces in our cities, and most importantly, we can carry nature’s beauty in our hearts and souls as you do my friend. <3
We almost retired in Ashland. I know precisely what you mean.
You could have attended Shakespeare Festival every year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Shakespeare_Festival
I know. I know. I am a lifelong idol of the bard. We have The Old Globe but Ashland has the festival. There was an incredible log house there on 13 acres. I still think of it. It was basically family that kept me in California. Santa Fe and Ashland were the two top choices.
Clever decision
I’m soul touched, my friend! (((´♡‿♡`+)))♬° ✧❥✧¸.•*¨*✧♡✧ ℒℴѵℯ ✧♡✧*¨*•.❥
You touch my soul my dear friend. (((´♡‿♡`+)))♬° ✧❥✧¸.•*¨*✧♡✧ ℒℴѵℯ ✧♡✧*¨*•.❥
Oh, several people have already said stunning. I was going to say stunning. They are stunning pictures anyway. The long distance canyons vista is my favorite.
Ahh, thanks John. Those red rock canyons are amazing aren’t they. They line up geological time for us to see, and touch, and walk through. It sort of clarifies our unimportance in the scheme of things which is huge relief to me. I don’t like the responsibility of thinking I’m important.
Ha ha. Indeed. There is an abundance of ‘importance’ going around these days.
The colors are amazing. So very beautiful. The eagle…stunning. I want to pet him and hold him in my arms. He wouldn’t like that but he’s so gorgeous.
He is gorgeous and unapproachable and perfect. Hugs to you my friend~
You are so poetic Cindy. This post, along with images of nature’s wonders, most definitely speaks to me! I love how the 5th image from the top conveys such incredible spaciousness and the close-up, intimate look at the cactus flower and bald eagle.
The fifth is complicated and cerebral to figure out which is why it speaks to you my cerebral friend. All those layers of geological time spread out before you with no clear clarifiers or orienting points. It was disorienting to me, but interesting. The eagle and the flower are just incredible living things. We are part of a beautiful world. Hugs to you my dear Lynn~ <3
You know me so well Cindy! Hugs and a big thank you for you as well! <3
<3 <3
How can something so barren be so breathtakingly beautiful? I dunno. Just is.
Yes, I dunno either, which is a good place to be.
These photos are so fantastic – the contrasting colours are stunning. 🙂
Honored that you enjoyed them!
ancora un saluto incantato dall’occhio ardito della tua superba aquila!
La natura che ci circonda ci ricorda che la sua selvaggia bellezza va amata e rispettata! a te il grande onore di presentarcela in tutta la sua stupefacente maestosit°
Come sempre un grazie dal profondo della mia anima

Thank you so much, Cindy for the post!

Cindy, my friend, you’ve done it again. You’ve transported me to the sand and rock landscape dotted with cacti. Vast canyons, wind-worn rock formations, a bright flash of light as sun winks off a bottle or broken piece of glass. Thick-stemmed yellow and green grass, vibrant desert blooms after a desert rainfall send flash flooding cascading from the mountains and carve riverbed into the soil. The blue haze of the atmosphere and mountains is everywhere. And my favorite part, through your photos I hear the wind, howling, piping, tearing, weaving, winding, gusting and asking us to come closer to see the face of God and all he has blessed us with. Thank you, Cindy, for taking us there. With love. Sheri
You filled my heart with light Sheri. So beautifully written, your words carry me there like a magic carpet. Hugs to you~ <3
Absolutely stunning Cindy, thank you so much for sharing :o)
Thank you so much more for appreciating!
You are very welcome ☺
oh wow I can relax in all of these places, beautiful all of them ☺️
The sun, the colors and the space are magically soothing to the soul and psyche. Cheers to you Andy~
Indeed! 🙂
Just the images to soothe an aching soul…thanks.
Hugs & love to you Sally~ <3
Love them Cindy. That eagle is really something!
I think he knows it too!!!
😀
Amazing as always
Grazie mille!
The egalitarian looks wise andecision pissed.
Love it and the egalitarian is rightfully pissed!
Auto correct changed “eagle” “and”
I thought it was very clever!!! He does seem like an disappointed egaltarian!
😁 I need to take time and read before I press send.
Why? It was fun!
All that beautiful wide open space makes me breathe easier. <3
Yes! Me too!
Whenever I come to your blog, I think of the quote by Raymond Myers: “If you seek creative ideas go walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.” Whenever I walk with you, I feel an angel nearby…
Ah, thats what friends are for, and you Rebecca are a lovely hearted friend. <3
Very impressive landscape.
It is!
Boahh… Cindy, tolle Fotos! Chapeau und liebe Grüsse…
Ich danke Ihnen, meine Art Freund und alles Gute fur Sie! <3
And cheers to you from another nature’s soul…Your pictures bring harmony.
I know your kindred nature’s soul my friend and so appreciate it! <3
Me too♥
<3
BEAUTIFUL!!! You’re a soul woman.
Visa versa 2UX2 <3
All the photos are magnificent. Rock landscape are very beautiful, but the flower and the
the head of the bird are incredible. Congratulations and many thanks for sharing.
You like the macros. It is amazing that the camera allows us to see the incredible fine details of such beautiful living things. Thank you Isabel for your thoughtful appreciation~
These pictures are majestic! Is this the Grand Canyon? Some of the pictures remind us a little of Sedona. The pictures are amazing!
Gracias! This is Canyonlands National Park. Grand Canyon is just around the corner. And it is red rock country like Sedona only more unpopulated.
So I was close ; ) You are full of surprises! Thank you Cindy!
Absolutely spectacular. Wow. Love the photos. The red rocks and ground are amazing although I believe we have a similar condition (except for the rock formation) in PEI (?) I’m not positive. Thank you for sharing. A real eye-opening post. <3 🙂
Yes you do and though I have been to PEI, I have never been to the Red Rock National Park. I would love to see it! It looks gorgeous. Check it out:

Tina Fey looks exactly like my daughter!
I’m crazy about those red rocks, they make me want to make sculptures again.
I hope you do! I look at these formations and think, “No, they can’t be real. They look like statues!” The rocks balancing on top of the rocks are particularly amazing. They do look like sculptures~
Gorgeous post, dear Cindy. I’ll take nature any day over a shopping mall. 🙂
Blessings ~ Wendy
Thank God for Amazon. I no longer have to go a mall….ever! I find them suffocating~
Bonsoir CINDY
SAVOIR PRENDRE
Prendre le temps d’aimer
C’est l’éternelle jeunesse
C’est du rire
C’est la musique quand on se sens en pleine forme
C’est pleurer quand on a l’émotion
C’est du cœur à partager avec les siens ou avec ses amis
C’est de lire pour s’instruire et avoir su savoir
C’est écouter
C’est l’intelligence
De penser est la clé de la réussite
De jouer nous rappelle notre enfance
De rêver c’est un souffle de bonheur
Il faut prendre le temps de vivre car les jours passent vite
Passe une belle soirée
Gros bisous Bernard

This Nature’s soul was transported into another realm. Thank you, Cindy!! Gorgeous photos! <3
We just know each other don’t we, the nature’s souls? We resonate with each other~ <3
True. (smiling)
<3
You make me smile, Cindy!
I would have absolutely no trouble at all relaxing in these beautiful places you show in your blog. This one is no exception! 🙂
But I really prefer being in the mission you sent me on to outer, outer space. I’m doing well on the mission and you should see the photos! Wolfie will be proud!
Timely reminder that! Must get back to work on that…I’m sure you must be fascinated lol as to what will happen to you next!! 😉 I’ve just finished my Canine Psychology Course (2) with the exception of a “Special Study” to complete at my leisure, so should be able to focus on that subject a little more freely!
Oh, take your time, no hurries or worries, we’ll be here waiting for you~ <3
Amazing pictures, Cindy, as always!!… <3 <3
Oh, thank you so much & cheers to you Manparna. You are amazing too <3

I am so grateful for blogging, how else in the world, would I meet people like you? You rock my friend~
A hardy thank you and ditto, darlin’!
<3 <3
These pictures are fantastic, Cindy, WOW! xxxx
Your photographs capture me, so visa versa 2Ux2! <3
I’m one of those people you talk about Cindy.I prefer Nature over a populated areas.
I think because we all came from Nature originally,each of us can still feel that deeper energy calling us back to play.
Lucky you to be able to play here!Great shots too!Do you ever do any panos? I’m always searching for expansive sweeping vistas!
This is no surprise, your remarkable photos show your passion, each speaking 1000’s of unsaid words which makes them so powerful.
“I think because we all came from Nature originally,each of us can still feel that deeper energy calling us back to play.”
I think not everyone knows what you are saying here, but that really is their loss. Not everyone understands how much they are just another animal in nature. If they did, they would be kinder.
Even more importantly you know that taking photos of nature is “playing.”
It is the most fun a nature’s soul can ever have~
well said Cindy! You should put out a book showcasing your travels.Next time your up this way I’ll show you some of the secret spots!
Deal, and I won’t reveal your secret spaces. I keep thinking about Chesterman with a rocking Pacific storm. It would be a sight to see & experience!
South beach is where you want to go if you want “ROCKING”! Way point as well but you’d need me to guide you to that spot.Very dangerous there!
Sounds fabulous!
so beutiful as always
thank you so much Cindy
kisses
Thank you more. I am so lucky to know you~
Wow, Cindy, this is stunning photography. So pleased to have found your blog via Tina Fisco.
Welcome! Tina is a light in so many of our lives. Her thoughtfulness is genuine and very kind. Cheers to you Hugh & pleased to meet you!
I can see that I need to spend more time in Utah!! Amazing photos Cindy!
Yes! You do because I want to see your photos!
Do you have any must see places for me?
In Utah, I would recommend Monument Valley which straddles two states and is in the Navajo Nation. Spend the night there so you see the light at sunset and dawn. It is ethereal. The View Hotel run by The Navajos is magical and has the best views in the park. You can self drive through the monuments now. Arches National Park would be next on my list and the arch focused hiking ops outside and around Moab. If you do the LaSal forest loop road out of Moab, you will have alpine lakes all to yourself in the off season, and views of Canyonlands National Park spread before you to the horizon. Incredible places. Zion & Bryce would be next. Zion is my personal favorite of the two. They are more crowded parks. When you hike there will be other people. If you can go off season the weather is cooler, and the crowds non-existant in Arches & Monument Valley. If you have time you could add Canyonlands National Park. I hope you go!!
Thank you so much Cindy!!! I don’t know when I will go, but I will go for sure. I am very interested in exploring Utah more, and it’s not that far away 🙂 Thank you!
<3
Stunning poetry and photography
So thoughtful & so appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend~
So beautiful. If our politicians from my town would see this they said oh what a great place to tear down and build on! They are crazy. They are about to destroy our grand nature. This post give me strength and inspiration to keep fighting for nature. Nature is our true friend, not stupid politicians 😉
So true, now more than ever. We all need to stand for what is right for what are we if not part of the natural world. Hug to you for defending our mother nature~ <3
Thank you so much. I think nature will help us through the climate challenges not the people who thinks it better to make money on destroying the nature. Nature is my church. I find strength there 🙂
Yes! It is the same with me~ <3
I hope we are many more 🙂
From one ‘nature soul’ to another, Cindy: Beautifully done. –Curt
Thanks my friend & awesome weekend to you~
From the title to the photos.. wow xx
You are a sweetheart Christy! Happy weekend~
Another remarkable photo essay, from a very remarkable woman! Thank you Cindy!
Thank you and I feel the same about you! <3
Beautiful! Those somewhat reminds me of some places in Western Australia, like Kimberly etc.

super toll, liebe Cindy, wünsche ein gutes Wochenende
http://www.animaatjes.de/bilder/d/danke-schon/danke00102.gif
Very nice… Utah? Takes me back to my AZ days. Love that eagle’s attitude… Are we trespassing? Lol.
Eagles always seem, to my eyes, to have a pretty accurate impression of us!! 😉 😉
So rugged and yet peaceful. I think we all yearn for that sort of space from other humans sometimes.
I certainly do, but some people do not enjoy nature & solitude. They love cities and parties. To each her own! But I’m with you on this Sarah~
I hate parties and avoid them at all costs these days. Much prefer meeting up with a friend for lunch in a country pub (not that I drink alcohol, but the conversation and food is good). I also love quaint, old-fashioned tea rooms, where the tea is served in bone china cups. Cities are far too noisy and crowded for me. The older I get, the worse they make me feel.
❤️
<3
Very beautiful dear Cindy 😀 happy weekend! 🙂
Visa versa 2UX2 & wonderful to hear from you!
HI Cindy– those refections photos are stunning! and all of them are so beautiful, so colorful! You’re having an amazing trip! more please…
Are you home for Thanksgiving?? Hope it’s a delicious, memorable day for you…
Hi Rhonda! Yes we are home through the holidays now. Looking forward to cooking & family. Happy TG to you my friend & thank you for your lovely thougths~ <3
The magnificent majesty of creation; the glorious tapestry of a mastermind along with your eloquent descriptions take my breath away. I love virtually traveling with you, Cindy.
I love having you as my travel companion Nancy! Hugs to you my friend~ <3
Thank you 😎

Wow Cindy, great photographs!
Kind & most appreciated! Cheers to you my friend~
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~ <3
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!
Liebe Cindy das sind ja traumhafte Naturfotos einfach wunderschön hab einen glücklichen Sonntag mit einen guten Start in die neue Woche Klaus in Freundschaft
Du bist so lieben Klaus! Vielen Dank fur Ihre wunderbaren Worte. Glucklicher Sonntag mein Freund~ <3
Pingback: A 2016 suggestion for some interesting photographic sites | From guestwriters
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!
<3
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. <3
Yes, Red Rock country is magical and I hope you do go back!
I’m crossing my fingers for March! 🙂

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~

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. 🙂

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! <3
Thank you Cindy. 🙂
<3
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. 🙂
<3
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!
<3
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! <3
Beautiful❤
This is a beautiful post and the images are simply breathtaking
You are lovely to say this. Thank you! <3
