Desert Wander Two was a two day trip to Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, September, 2016. I was curious as to how a two-week wander vs. a two-day wander would compare. While both have their merits, it was harder to disconnect from everyday life as much as I did when I had more time. But as I hiked among the hoodoos for several hours I found a few moments to weave myself into the surrounding landscape and be present with the wonder around me.
It is a challenge to make minimal marks when capturing such an overwhelming natural setting, and have them mean something. A lady from southeast Asia asked to see my sketches and she was not wholly impressed. Bless her, she was still very polite and engaged in friendly conversation.
