Is there anything more beautiful than what nature creates? Methinks not. Even though it is crazy busy and can sometimes be a terrible experience, I still love traipsing through Arizona's antelope canyon (lower antelope, in this case). With the way the erosion has formed the canyon walls into such interesting (and photogenic) formations, I always feel like I am in a bit of a Dr. Seuss like dream. And what a joy it was to stumble upon this little bit of a twig clinging onto the canyon wall trying to make a life for itself in such an otherworldly place. I can relate...I grow better when surrounded by nature's beauty, even if that makes for harsher conditions. Photo by @magnumji
