Feeling Groovy [explored] - a photo on Flickriver

Well, not really, but I need to go with the words here. Feeling OK actually, trying to get more active and shed some of the extra beer and my-daughters-wont-stop-baking-stuff-and-I-cant-stop-eating-it lockdown pounds. Some serious grooving of a different kind happening here in this stretch of the "Narrows" of the Virgin River canyon in Zion National Park. One can certainly see why it is called the Narrows. And these lined walls provide pretty compelling evidence of the power of some serious water force driving rocks down the river bed. One shutters to think about getting caught in a flash flood here... and then one yells at one's brain to think of something else right quick!!

In fitter times I hiked for hours through the freezing cold water of the Narrows with fellow photogs Kevin Benedict and Josh Krasner last fall. Then we got up and did it again two days later! Had an absolute blast and loved the ever-changing light conditions especially when the reflected light would dance across different canyon walls.

I especially wanted to thank everyone who left such kind comments on my previous post, I really appreciate the tremendous support and feedback y'all keep giving. I really enjoy the writing aspect of posting my photos perhaps almost as much as the photography itself.
