Arches National Park, Utah © 2008 Bo Mackison

While the snow flies here in Wisconsin, instantly turning my world into whites and grays, I am bringing to mind the warmth of the desert – the oranges, yellows, and pinks – and the cooling breezes that wash over the earth when the sun sets. I give thanks for the memories.

This scape was taken in mid-October at Arches National Park, Utah – a high desert region.
