  1. Never heard of a hoodoo, but I have seen them. It feels like I am looking at a city, tall castles built of sand. Stunning pics 🙂

  3. Bryce Canyon is a very unique place. I have very fond memories of our visit to this magical place in 2009. The light in Bryce makes magic. We were there in October which allowed us to it with snow which was also very special. Nice pics. (Suzanne)
