Zion National Park - UTAH!

Will like the flowers beside them soon be gone. And yet not out by any brook or river, But up by roots to bring dark foliage on. The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods -- Let them think twice before they use their powers To blot out and drink up and sweep away These flowery waters and these watery flowers From snow that melted only yesterday. --Frost Photo: Pine Creek Waterfall © Photography by Tanya
