We took a trip to the desert in Eastern Washington and hiked out to the bluffs. 'Twas a cold, blustery day (so cold that the battery on my camera died half-way out!) but the fresh air sure felt marvelous.
The terrain was rough since we cut our own paths--though on the way back we followed an animal trail. Since there's not a lot of traffic in the winter, there was a great quantity of unspoiled beauty to observe...
Most of it looks like this. Desolate, scrubby, brown and white.
But a good companion makes all the difference! Meet Mally.
She scoped the situation out for us.
And of course there are little details you can notice if you're trying. A flower shape.
Delicate plants.
Even a smiley face!
The Channeled Scablands were carved from a great flood 12 to 15 THOUSAND years ago. They are even more dramatic in person.
Sometimes the grand scope of a place puts all things in perspective, yes?
