primitive loop arches national park

At the end of the road in Arches, there is a trail that you can take that has a primitive portion that breaks off to the side.  You end up climbing quite a bit of rock, but the hike was easily one of the top three that I have ever been on .

Early Meadow Rue

Esha Ness, Shetland

This is where we sat and had lunch.  While looking out into the ocean, we discovered a seal watching us.  He would pop under water for a little while and then pop back up somewhere else.  It took us a little while to realize that there were actually two seals.  They watched us the whole time. 

We also thought we saw a raft of otters - and we were really excited about our luck - but it turned out that it was just seaweed.  Brown seaweed that turns white when it is out of water and exposed to the sun.
