    Hanging Gardens

    No, its not where we hung the bad guys in the olde west....its where the plants hang from the ceilings and walls of seeps in the local sandstone. Hiked out and back yesterday. The plants aren't in full Spring form yet but they're getting there. Lots of wildflowers. And, an incredible view up into Utah.



    Here are the gardens themselves. Still a ways to go to perk up for Spring.



    And a pleat shot.



    Was hiking with a lady from Pennsylvania so wore my Pennsylvania state tartan USA Kilts casual.

    It is great country for hiking, though at my age its more "ambling." The indoors comes when I get home and nap.
