On Cedar Ridge. Just before the rain. Klondike Bluffs (in Arches N.P.) lit in the distant background, and beyond the bluffs, hints of the considerably more distant Book Cliffs.

Ok, ya’ got me… Is Prince’s Plume the name of the yellow flowering plant? (Confessing to haven’t got a clue … pretty sure it isn’t one of the myriad of things that I have forgotten).

Yes, 'Prince's Plume' is the common name for the yellow flowering plant (a.k.a., Stanleya pinnata) shown in this photo.

Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate all I’ve learned from you in the short time I’ve been following UHH.

Stunning! I was in Arches NP two years ago and only had bluebird skies so my pics didn’t turn out well. It looks like you had some awesome skies to help your pics.

Rob --and Cliff, if you're listening-- yeah, the clouds (or as I prefer to think of what all they signify in the aggregate, the weather conditions) often do make or break some shots. Personally, I either wait for the kinds of conditions I prefer --or, in lieu of that, whenever I lose patience in waiting and watching for useful conditions and simply grab a camera and go, just get the heck out of the house-- and head off in whatever direction it seems might provide the best possibilities. And around here, since there are more-or-less predictable micro-climates and elevation differences and a wide variety of other practical factors, doing so can be hit and miss.
Even blank, featureless, bluebird pure skies can sometimes work (Cliff). Especially when they're minimized or eliminated altogether. Or not. Who knows? My poke might be your --or somebody else's-- stroke.

I do enjoy images, like yours, that have the real deal of what was there when you were. As you said, we all have our "things" that add value to images or take it away, depending on personal preference.
I don't have anything against sky replacements and to each their own. If done well, they can really help "complete the package" or something like that!:-)

Oh, I agree, bluebird skies can produce good pictures, but I usually prefer some type of clouds in the sky. When I went there two years ago I only had a few hours to spend so I had to use what I had in terms of weather. One of these days I want to go to Bryce Canyon and other places in Utah on vacation because I’ve seen in pictures the awesome landscapes there.
