Just back from a much-needed, semi-working vacation in the Southwest with F-stop, where he was shooting for a month. I enjoyed experiencing the sense of space and endless skies: quite a contrast from living in the Northeastern megalopolis. Like much of the world, the Southwest is facing grave environmental concerns, so looking at these pictures feels bittersweet. I hope future generations will be able to enjoy the same vistas that I saw.

This raven spent about 5 minutes telling me about his life in Bryce Canyon. Unfortunately, I don't speak Raven. |

Some of the slimy characters I hung out with. Lake Mead. |
Hoover Dam, Arizona/Nevada. The top of the white cliffs shows where the water level was just 10 years ago. |

I think Zabrieskie Point should be renamed "Tira Mi Su Point." |
Which leads me to this yummy Vegan Red Velvet Cupcake from the Red Velvet Cafe in Las Vegas |
Las Vegas is home to the mother of all Whole Foods. They even have a vegan bar. |
...With tons of options. Some looked tastier than others. |

Those photos are just stunning.
Agree.... absolutely stunning photos; makes me want to head out west ASAP. My favorite is the self portrait, it's right on!!
Awesome pics! Looks like you had a blast.
I love WF's vegan hot bar! They have them here in the city, problem is some of that stuff can be heavy (either that or I'm just a greedy ass).
I must visit that WF. A vegan bar?! Wow. I'd love to make a trip of visit WF stores across the country.
Beautiful album. Thanks!
We took a road trip to Zion for our honeymoon and loved it there. Utah is beautiful! Great pictures of everything & how cool that WF has a vegan bar in Las Vegas!
gorgeous! Yay for vegan bars too!
I've been to Zion and Bryce, almost 5 years ago now. Beautiful area! Your pictures make me want to go back ASAP.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. I think Zion National Park is one of my top candidates for loveliest place on earth.
I live here in Las Vegas and have followed your blog for a while. Red Velvet Cafe is one of my favs! Glad to see you made it there. The Vegan Bar is also awesome, my husband and I visit WF regularly to find goodies.
I know that Best Friends Sanctuary is in the area----were you able to do a visit to check it out? I hope to go there one of these days------soon.
