Good morning, Blueskyers. This is a lovely canyon not far from the house which repeatedly slots up then opens up on its way down from the top of the Vermilion Cliffs. I hope this scene brings you a moment of peace.☮️

Traveling up this canyon, I turned a corner and saw this. One could skirt it by traversing along the ledge on the left, then scrambling up the rubble-filled crack to the left. I decided to leave it until the pool dries up a bit. Have a barrier-free day!

I looked at the mud, looked at the pool of cold, muddy water of indeterminate depth, and said "Nope." I hope you all stay warm and dry today!

I'm pretty sure I'll never run out of #ShotsInSlots - it's hard to avoid them in this area. I hope you all have a beautiful day.🧡
#ShotsInSlots posts sometimes admire the beauty of potholes. But the keeper potholes are no joke. Sometimes the flood brings a lucky log.

For #ShotsInSlots here's a scene along the narrows of the lower Paria River. Yes, your feet are going to be wet for about the next 25 miles, so wear an old pair of trail runners. Also check the stream gauge and have a good weather forecast.

The reflection in the potholes is so pure in this canyon, it almost looks like a natural arch or bridge. #Stunday #shotsinslots #ProtectOurPublicLands #Nature #wildplaces #Utah #photography #landscape #hiking #backpacking #GlenCanyon

Temperature-wise this is the best season to get some canyon magic.

Happy Sunday! Hiking through this gorgeous area on our 17-day #backpacking trip, my mind & soul were calmed. It felt holy. I reflected who I am, and who I want to become.

ANOTHER slot canyon?!? In this neck of the woods, it's hard to go more than a few hundred yards without encountering a slot or a hoodoo. Hope you all have a good Thursday.

It's BlueSky Monday, so let's shoot for getting through the week in one piece. And if you do better than that, it'll be cause for a little celebration.

A narrow canyon with potholes of water.
This canyon ends at a big dryfall above the Colorado River. I was within about 100 yards of the dryfall when I encountered these full potholes. I stood there for a bit and considered, then decided that wading wasn't on today's agenda.

Freshly-washed sandstone just seemed so pure this morning.

Getting the #ShotsInSlots.
Over 99% of my pictures are with the phone. But how do you get the 3 lbm full frame DSLR through the slot for the 1%?
A Great Horned owl in a rock alcove.
I encountered this seasonably appropriate Great Horned owl in a neighborhood slot canyon. I had to pan out to get this photo because I was standing at the edge of a 40' dryfall.

This might not be the intended format for #shotsinslots. But I find these canyon videos extremely magical, meditative and almost therapeutic. I wish bluesky had a soundtrack option.
Ugh, the headlines. I did enjoy a brief respite this morning.

Is it possible to have too many #ShotsInSlots ???
Nah...here's a shallow slot in the mid-Jurassic Entrada Formation. I hope you all find something to keep yourselves sane today.

This canyon is also a natural hot spring.
It must be time for #ShotsInSlots -
a beautiful morning, with more than a hint of fall in the air.

Not all slots are sandstone. Some granite fun.
