Do you ever procrastinate on something, put it off for another day, week or month, and then each time you try to revisit it, it’s more and more difficult to begin because of how long you waited? Me too. Way too often.It’s been a week since we flew back to Ohio from the Southwest, where we spent 10 days camping in some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I thought about writing a detailed trip report, a travelogue of the stops, people and places we encountered, but I realized when we got back to Ohio that words (and even photos, really, some 1100 of them) don’t do justice to the places we saw. But it’s worth trying. After all, I wouldn’t have been curious about those places — Death Valley, the Grand Canyon. The desert in general — were it not for pictures or essays written by some of my favorite authors.
It’s hard to sift through 1,000 pictures of anything, let alone shots from 11 different states and as many landscapes. I’m in the process of editing the best ones, which I’ll upload to Flickr before too long. The rest can be found in a Facebook album here. Give ‘em a look.
In the meantime, here are some of my favorites:

As I mentioned above, the rest of the trip photos can be viewed at my Facebook page, if you’re so inclined.
And how about that last shot, eh? What can I say — it was a perfect setting. I’m just glad she didn’t pass out and roll over the edge.
