Rainstorm at Arches

I told myself I wouldn’t take many photos yesterday when we toured Arches National Park. I’d visited five years ago, on a blue-sky May Monday, and snapped plenty of pictures then. Surely I didn’t need anymore.

But the index finger gets peckish in the presence of great natural beauty,. It wants to preserve the vistas. It hovers and snaps, almost without my permission.

I’m telling myself that every photo was justified. Yesterday’s weather was more dramatic. Dark thunderheads, lightning, and a driving rain (conveniently timed for our drive out of the park). But I took sunny shots, too.
