Dane and I shared the picture taking duties on this trip, but he is a far better and more patient photographer than I am. Chances are good that if you like the photo it is his.
The desert was in bloom:
This is an ancient grainery (place for storing grain) in the Needles District of Canyonlands.
See all that bumpy ground? That's cryptobiotic crust. It's a community of lichens, mosses, bacteria and other little critters that develops on bare ground. It helps stabilize the soil and takes decades to form. This is one of the best examples I've ever seem.
This is the backside of Castle Valley. You can see the "castle" in the middle of the photo way off in the distance.
