#SundayStills: Monthly Color Challenge – #Brown Trees


A photo of a fallen tree trunk covered in snow taken at Bryce Canyon National Park in December 2023

Like it or not, I will always look back on that trip because so far, that trip is ranked at the top of my best trip list. This picture is a picture of a fallen tree trunk at Bryce Canyon. In the snow, it looked like something else, like a sleeping beast in the snow. Nature has its weird ways of creating art, doesn’t it?

Another one from the trip.

There seem to be quite a bit of brown landscapes. I’m pretty sure it’s just the time of year for that color to surface as the days are at its shortest and the nights are at its longest.

Surprisingly, by the time I made it to northern Arizona, I found out I get 30 minutes of daylight than I do at home. Funny how much of a difference 6 degrees of latitude can make.

Anyway, this is just a tree, somewhere along highway 95 in southeastern Utah, surviving, I guess, beside a nearly dried up river. I feel like many of us are in similar situations – just surviving, trying to get by day to day.

Monday Thoughts – I thought I am okay


Generated by AI

I have been in quite a bit of meetings at work lately since I’m helping to integrate a piece of software into the current accounting software to help automate a task. Last week, as I was trying to hold a meeting, with my door closed, my mom was talking loudly with my aunt right outside my door to the point where I had to excuse and mute myself and tell her to pipe down. Afterwards, she told me she thought I was talking to myself and got angry at me.
