Walking among the hoodoos in the morning light, feeling out of my element.
Sculpted towers surround me, casting tall shadows. Their wind-carved faces turn towards the sun,
until clouds block their view.
Shadows lengthen, darkness threatens me.
Snowdrifts create luminous lights.
Hoodoos retreat, marching towards another day.

Thanks, Jane! I took those photos in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. My favorite National Park there.
Utah... of course! There are amazing landscapes there. We haven’t been to Bryce yet. I couldn’t place your photos in our equally amazing state!!
We traveled to Utah a few years ago in the spring. A lovely place to visit!
Wow... Bryce Canyon NP is amazing especially under the sunlight! Beautifully captured!
Thanks, Amy! It's a magical kind of place.
One of our favorite places!!
Yes, it's right in your neighborhood. I took A LOT of pictures there. 🙂
Well Siobhan, I see we were on a similar wavelength this week! One of my favorite parks also, so glorious whatever the light! Lovely verse works beautifully with your images.
Yes, I immediately thought of Bryce when I saw what the challenge was. One interpretation of the word hoodoo is bewitched. They are a bewitching sight.
What a lovely collection, Siobhan. You've picked a great place to highlight. I didn't know the word hoodoos before! Now I do, thanks to you! I must go to Bryce!
Thank you, Patti! Yes, you should go to Bryce if you ever get the chance.
