Moab

We had a "day of rest" yesterday and spent most of it in a little town called Moab.  It was hot and a little dusty and we shopped and ate.  We also tried to get a place on the "Canyonlands by Night" tour but it wasn't being held that night.  Pity, as we're off today.  

I snapped this with my tripod and timer at sun set last night.  We were out hunting critters.  Saw little white-tailed ground squirrels - very shy, rabbits - not, and a few pretty birds.  I am very sold on tripods.  Thanks to Megan for the photography book which I have been reading.  Very helpful!

This is in front of a gift shop in Moab.  So-o-o much stuff it is overwhelming.  And this is just one gift shop.  There were maybe 5 more around the town.  Yes, we saw them all.  But these wind sculptures were amazing.  We inquired as to the price and they start at $500.  Sigh.  Clancy will just have to make some.

And here is our lunch, half of which came home with us for today.  We try to remember to share one meal, but forgot yesterday.  Clancy is really enjoying Mexican food as long as it is not spicy hot.  

Just a window detail from the restaurant.

And today we're off in search of Pictographs and Petroglyphs (yes, I know the difference).  We might make it as far as Mesa Verde, but I doubt it.
