Fruita Orchards, Capitol Reef National Park, Torrey UT, April 20, 2011
Fruita orchards
The 2,000 trees in the old orchards in Fruita are in pretty good shape, bearing apricots, apples, plums, etc available to the public in season. The campground is set amidst the orchards, horses are in the paddocks. Cool.

Our Peripheral Existence
Being a minority in both caste and class, we moved about anyway on the hem of life, struggling to consolidate our weaknesses and hang on, or to creep singly up into the major folds of the garment. Our peripheral existence, however, was something we had learned to deal with, probably because it was abstract.
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
