weekend in desert country

Back in the car for another road trip, a mere 5 hour drive (one way) this time, we’ve headed to the southern Utah desert for a few fabulous days at grandma’s house which is also a bed and breakfast (Slot Canyons Inn) and ranch in Escalante Utah.  20120804-220828.jpg

Apple laden trees, sourly delicious- give them another week and they’ll be perfectly ripe.

Playing in the waterfall- a perfect sneaky shelf for the movie moment of hiding behind the waterfall.

A late afternoon tiny flash flood- glad we swam earlier. While this much water isn’t going to wash you away, it sure was smelly and nasty.
