You with the most lovely flower - the evening primrose - that lasts only one day.
You with the majestic Ponderosa pines and the shimmering Aspens.
You awed me with your stunning beauty; your magnificent hikes, your intriguing geology, your history related to the Mormon pioneers.
Oh, you got to me.
BUT, YOU TRICKED ME!
You are up higher, down lower, more Northern; you were supposed to be our getaway from the mouldering heat, but you were
SWELTERINGLY HOT!
You were supposed to be cooler than where I live. You fooled everyone this summer and your temperatures climbed just when we wanted to climb up from the canyon floor....and it was not pretty.
SO, dear Bryce Canyon, I will come again to enjoy your beauty, but I will NOT come in JULY.
October sounds good to me, but will you trick me again and be VERY COLD then?
I can only hope not!
