Textures of Arches National Park

Crowded columns taking in the view

Carefully crafted by hand and built to last

Curving crowns of overarching rock

Chronicles covering events from long ago

Creased cracks pressed by time

Colorful cactus thriving and persisting

Sunday Stills – Texture is all around us

Centered in Bend, Oregon, my blog branches out into nature, history, and art-related topics.

  • Your photos are stunning and full of texture! We are planning an RV trip in late December/early January to Northern Arizona & Southern Utah! Thanks for the timely preview. Also, thanks for joining Sunday Stills. We have friends and relatives in Bend, Portland, Eugene and up into Washington State. I will be visiting your blog!
