Welcome! This is the first of the "Take My Pix, Please" blogs carrying pictures for writers to take for free and use on blogs, for book covers, websites. No compensation, no attribution necessary. My son, Steve, took some incredible shots on his college study trip to the Colorado Plateau. I have received his permission to give these photos away. So he has the first blog. These 20 pix were all taken by Steve Joachim. I hope you enjoy them. Please let us know what you think.

Jean and Steve, thanks so much.
