Full of Hope

 I drive south to a community called Blanding from my home north of Monticello, UT. The road is practically vacant during this time. My return trip home came with a vision that could have come from heaven itself. The sunset, amazing coloring of the sky. I pull off onto the shoulder and get out of the car to take pictures. In my view are the southern sides of the Abajo mountains. A glimmer of light and then a shaft of light tops the peaks and spills out over the landscape of juniper, grasses, sage and Utah's red dirt.  I am full of hope for the future and will continue to live with optimism.
