Glorious Utah, evening light in the Canyon

We made a few more stops on the one road leading north around the rim of Bryce Canyon. The first was at Ponderosa Canyon. I was impressed by this little flower which I could not identify and the wonderful Limber Pine, its roots clasped around the rock. The next stop up the road was Agua Canyon where there are a couple of very prominent hoodoos. The National Park Service has stopped naming them as they tend to fall down as the canyon wall is eroded. The first hoodoo here is the Backpacker or Hunter and he is looking across to one known as the Rabbit. The light was just hitting the tops of the hoodoos. Bryce is mainly not good for sunsets as it faces east and is plunged into darkness in the evening. A short drive north brings you to Natural Bridge where a rather scruffy raven was posing for food. I did not have any but he was obliging none the less. I was so distracted by him that I did not take many pictures of the scenery here.
