Sunday Morning Photograph February 27 2022: “Iced” Trees in Utah.

The root cause for branching out with new photographs...

The Tuesday morning air was crisp — 13 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact — as I was driving on the lone yet empty main road in Bryce Canyon National Park just past the entrance; and the gloomy gray clouds which lay low to the ground earlier that morning were in the process of clearing and giving way to the azure skies and bright sunshine which tried to pierce through the cold…

Final Boarding Call

The road into Bryce Canyon National Park eventually ends; so one must backtrack on the same road to leave at the same place as where one entered.

The photographs which are included in this article are only three of 623 photographs which I took at Bryce Canyon National Park; so you can imagine how much time I likely need to sort through them and highlight them in future articles of my experiences here at The Gate.

The good news is that I now have three fewer photographs from which to choose for those articles.
