Nebo Loop

My wife and I took a drive around the Nebo Loop today as we listened to General Conference. Here is one of the photos I took. It was a great day for photos. The colors have turned. There were lots of interesting clouds floating overhead. And I didn't have to drive. :)

First Fall Snow of 2007

My wife and I went for a drive up Provo canyon today (Sep 29). We drove the "Alpine Loop" which connects Provo canyon and American Fork canyon. It was a very nice drive with all the leaves changing colors. It started to snow part of the way up the Provo canyon side. By the time we reached the summit, the snow was coming down pretty hard. I jumped out of the car to take this photo.

Memorial Day

This photo was taken on Saturday, May 27, 2007 at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. This section of the cemetery is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the service of this country. A local construction contractor is donating the materals and labor to restore the head stones. The head stones in the foreground have already been restored. They have been set in a new concrete base.

Back Yard Sunset

I took this photo in my back yard. It had been raining most of the day, and just before sunset, the sun peaked through the clouds and lit up mount Timpanogos.

I used Photoshop to take out the power lines.

Golden Clouds

What is in those clouds? Honey, butterscotch, maple syrup maybe? Maybe they are heavy with manna. That was golden colored wasn't it?

Maybe I just used Photoshop to adjust the color. You never can tell.

Rockhounding Tools

My wife and I drove out to the southwestern corner of Utah to look for Trilobites. We were looking at an established dig so we were sure to find some. The owner of the dig had a large hoe that he used to dig the trilobite rich layers of rock out of the ground and spread the rock around so we could easily dig through it.

We had a great time. The photo was taken after I had been pounding on rocks for a while and dropped all my tools to take a break.
