Vagando Photography: 2012

Please Join Us

We are Wanderers... Some people live their lives deliberately going from place to place. We too spend our work days doing that. But it seems that the best moments in life often happen by chance, unexpected and unplanned.

In this blog, we will try to capture the wonder we have felt when we happened upon the scenes shared here. Beauty and interest are truly where you find them. "Vagando" is the Spanish word for wandering and beautifully captures the feeling of freedom and ease we experience in our mini adventures. We hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as we have enjoyed finding them.

Monument Valley

We quite often find ourselves on the road between Grand Junction and Phoenix. One of the rewards of making the long journey is thebrief time spent in Monument Valley. While we have made the trip for many years, we usually are in a hurry and don't stop to admire the beauty. Sometimes its dark. Last winter, we took the time and these photos are the result.

We also stopped at one of the famous natural arches in southern Utah for the first time: Wilson Arch. It is right off of the highway and well worth the time for a short walk!

And, of course, the sunsets are always glorious...
