More Moab please

So glad we returned to Moab it is just SO beautiful. Walked down Park Avenue! So different to the Park Avenue next to our house!!!

Met up with an amazing artist Chad Niehaus, who not only does some amazing pastels but also teaches "Artist in the park" now there is an idea for Barrenjoey and West Head!

He was doing a 3 day workshop that week but unfortunately worked called and we could not stay for that or for the Moab folk festival....ah well! Check out his work http://www.moabart.com/

Walking down Park Avenue is incredible as the landscape and the arches just stretch out into the horizon, breathtaking and a bit daunting. We walked to three arches but stopped at others as we took the road that hugs the mountain side - exposing yet another awe inspiring view at every corner.

Landscape Arch is the most amazing in that it is so long and thin and of course beautiful! It looks as if it might collapse at any moment. Saw some fab mule deer with huge ears. Loved Pine Tree Arch and Tunnel arches which framed other distant arches.

What bliss! Finished off the day with a rather nice margarita in a very traditional Mexican Restaurant!!!
