Lots of pink lambswool clouds in the sky this evening.

It's hard to know if it is a gift or an affliction: Ray Kurzweil might be the person to ask.

Shivwits craft show

CULTURAL LEARNINGS FOR MAKE BENFIT • Today, the second Monday of October is either Indigenous Peoples Day or Columbus Day, or both in some places. Like many things in these decentralized United States the choice to go with one, or the other, or both, varies by state and even by city. The State of Utah remains with Columbus Day. Salt Lake City (the Utah state capital in the north of the state) went with duality. St George (the largest city in the south of the state) remains with Columbus Day and the Stars and Stripes were ubiquitous. Yesterday, we passed on the Art in Kayenta  show and chose to visit the  Shivwits  fourth annual native American arts and crafts show, which is held on the Shivwits tribal lands beyond the well-heeled satellite towns to the northwest of St George.

The roll cloud returns • Today, as if to underscore the approaching change of season, a roll cloud returned to sit atop the Pine Valley Mountains.

Three aircraft passed overhead as I paused at Amen Corner by the horse hotel. Up at Copper Rock there are now four buildings under construction. The first structure to be started is now well advanced and a worker was loading materials in preparation for the roof cladding. I rode the final leg of my route at a slow pace as I enjoyed the morning sunshine.

Visit to Confluence Park

Although not formally part of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve —whose primary goal is recovery the threatened desert tortoise— Confluence Park is part of the Washington County HCP (Habitat Conservation Plan). A Google map , and the left and center  information panels for visitors at the park entrance should allow you to get your bearings. There is an additional online human history of the park. The area was tranquil on the day of our Sunday out in warm afternoon sunshine. Lots of old growth trees—many of them marked with blue paint daubs, which probably means they are to receive attention soon—with overwintering  Rabbitbrush , grasses, and canes glowing against the light. Devotees of the Cactaceae (aka Opuntiaceae, aka Leuchtenbergiaceae) family of plants should stay alert.   --------------------oOo-------------------- The blog author almost never checks emails or comments.
