FMC 3.0

So there were some things I left out of the gallery because they’d have made no sense to anyone outside of context. There may be more I didn’t think of, but hopefully they’ll make a little sense if you read the post about the weekend.

First off, blue. I mean real blue, bright blue, the kind of blue you don’t see on the east coast:

You just can’t see a sky like that here.

Next up, the only picture taken of me on my camera (I’m not sure if Christina got me in any on hers, I don’t think so though) It’s pretty run of the mill:

Now, that’s a pretty run of the mill picture. Nice little opening in the rock, cool contrast in distance and all. The real interesting bit of that picture, is the next one:

That was taken for what was at my backside - quite a drop. Was worth the risk.

Last up, the story of the Moth. So as we were coming down a trail at Zion, we noticed a moth walking across the ground towards the path. It was a well traveled path, and Christina didn’t want to get squashed by a tourist that wasn’t paying attention. So she stuck out her foot, and tried to block it from the path and have it turn around. Instead, it latched itself onto her shoe, and tried to make itself comfy:

So gentle prodding and other things didn’t get the thing off, and so it was time for a plan b - a stick:

Even that wasn’t working too well, as the moth really liked her shoe:

But at last, with patience and perseverance, the moth let go, and attached to the stick, which we put safely off the path:

It took a good 5-8 minutes to get the thing to detach from her shoe. At one point, someone going by noticing the attention being paid to her foot asked Christina “You didn’t get injured did you?” I was laughing most of the time, making sure it was well documented, though I’m not sure Christina enjoyed it that much.

I think that covers most of the oddities in the pictures I took. As always, feel free to browse through the pictures in the Gallery, but there are a lot of them. If any leave you scratching your head, let me know.
