Lovely images of beautiful country. The 2nd and 3rd are better in my eyes.

Sometimes I think you make up errands just so you can take the long way home. 
Nice captures.

Beautiful shots of a very interesting, photogenic place! You make a great promoter for Arches! I may be there in April...

In photo #2, my eye was drawn to the dark figure of the "dead" tree against the
rest of the colorful rocks.
I have to wonder how many photographers have taken multiple shots of that dead tree
over the decades? The tree has a second life. It probably graces the covers of several
photo books.

I wouldn't begin to know how many photographers have shot that tree, but so far I haven't seen it featured on the cover of a book. Not so long ago, I posted another image of this tree and somebody commented that they too had been more or less where I had been when I shot that image, but if that person had shot an image they didn't include it along with their comment. Dang it.
This much I know: I've shot one 'view' or another of this particular tree many scores of times. In winter, in summer, in good light, in bad light, in no light and in every manner of weather conditions that occur in Arches. Early on --30-ish years ago?-- that was on film; small, medium and large format-wise. I've treated (processed) it naturalistically and I've treated it otherwise, and next week or next month or next year I'll do so all over again.
It's a really expressive tree. And at this point, it's one of my oldest and closest friends.

Thanks for the offer! However I don't have a clue when/or even if we make it there. It will be around the last week in April, if we do. We have been to Arches before. I checked and I don't have 'that' tree, but a couple of others, with delicate arch in the background, both made right after sunset. I need to do a little 'work' on them.
