14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Weeping Rock

Water droplets from the Weeping Rock trail during our first visit to Zion National Park. I was inspired after reading about the process behind the “weeping”, and with regard to the length of time each water droplet had to travel. According to one site, the water has been in the rocks for about 1200 years. There's beauty in learning this ancient water is nourishing and giving life to these rock hanging plants.
