Zion (once again)


Cairns


 
   I'm not sure why I like this picture, but I do. It seems kind of flat and the colors don't stand out and the focus isn't totally sharp. but the boy playing alone in the river and the deer wandering calmly across somehow resonate. kind of reminds me of a simpler more natural time... 







Catherine Pass


Lake Mary was almost totally dry.
It's actually a reservoir and the main source of drinking water for Sandy and several other towns in Salt Lake Valley.... a very surreal reminder of the drought we are in, and a fun place to explore and take pictures.



Interesting evidence of the full cycle of things, this tree must of been pretty big before the river was dammed and the area flooded, it slowly rotted away underwater for probably decades and what is left now finally emerged and is now slowly bleaching in the sun.

And quickly the next generation of plant life takes hold where you wouldn't expect.





My little man is developing quite an eye for interesting photo ops





Lake Martha, however, was nice and full


As was Lake Catherine



And here are a few from the little padawan







We called this section of Lake Catherine a natural art gallery
 because it looked like an impressionist painting
