This past weekend, I went with my husband down to Torrey, Utah, which is just outside of Capitol Reef National Park. My family has a small cabin in Torrey and it's the perfect place to relax, which is what we did for three days. This picture is the view from the back porch--it's amazing! My photography skills don't do justice the richness of the red rock and blue sky that make the winter landscape seem alive. Torrey is a very small town, and it gets even smaller in the winter when tourism dwindles. This weekend, there were hardly any cars, hardly any people, hardly any noise beyond the cries of a few lonely birds. The absence of even the wind made the stillness complete, and though we didn't get to see any stars while we were there, the silence of the landscape gave us room to breathe, think, be.
