The simplicity of an uninterupted horizon is pure and simple… and even though I don’t own one of these incredibly beautiful pools… I can dream can’t I???

A few years ago my hubby and I took a magical vacation to Lake Powell in Arizona.  We stayed at the lake resort and hiked near the Glen Canyon Dam.

Image

Image

We took the boat tour on the lake

Image

Image

but the most amazing day was the Antelope Canyon caves tour.  Many of you have seen the corkscrew cave photos on the internet, but if you haven’t been there as the sun passes over the cave you must put it on your list.

Image

Image

The shadows created on the corkscrew walls are breath taking!

Image

I have so many photos of the trip that I am breaking them into a series and posting one group a day.  I would go there again in a heartbeat… maybe next visit I will see some of you too!

Stay tuned to Part Two… I love seeing your photos too!

My year in pictures… abridged!
