I loved your posting of your trip to Bryce and your images. I particularly this extract from your account:
"I don’t know what I expected but this wasn’t it. I like to think I’m a decent photographer able to capture the beauty of what I see through the eye of my camera but there is nothing like BEING there. To hear the snow crunching under your feet, to FEEL the cool wind on your face. To stand one foot away from oblivion and embrace not fear but awe. To be so small and inconsequential in the face of such majesty and grandeur, humbling."
We sometimes forget that photography is very much about the experience of just 'being there'
