The Way of the Zion Sheep...

My intention for this morning was to drive to the mouth of the Narrows and photograph the canyon as the sun rose. Considering I got up too late, and upon entrance to Zion, found out they have started mandatory shuttles for the summer, I decided to go to East Zion again. I chose a hike that would take me to the a pass that would require me to do an Angels Landing style hike, without the chains. I was a little nervous on some parts, but the views were worth it. Yes, it was a trail made by Zion's bighorn sheep.
 A Ponderosa Pine dwarfed from lack of water and good growing soil with East Temple in the background. I think this shot would look really nice during sunrise. Maybe I will return someday for that shot.
 A reflection in a canyon at mid morning. 
 Of coarse, I had to snap a couple pictures of the beautiful springtime flowers. 
The slickrock dome on the opposite side of the canyon from the pass that I hiked. Love the clouds!

Got thinking while out on my hike today. I think I am going to do a few series within the next couple weeks. Flowers, trees, reflections. Be expecting something!
