Silver Lake

Ralph and I went up to Silver Lake at the top of Brighton, this morning.  The colors are fading fast.   the reds were dull,  but the Aspens that still had leaves were beautiful.   There is this one little clump on the hillside,  that is still pretty,  although the wind was taking those leaves off pretty rapidly.  We took almost all of our photos around that one spot.  

Sunset at the Fair

This was the view as we were eating our little picnic lunch that we traditionally take to the air.  The storms barely ended from this week and the sky was incredible.

My first thought about this sunset was that it was shame I was not at the Great Salt Lake.   Now that I see it as a backdrop to the fair...I do love it.   

This image almost looks surreal to me.   I was facing west,  and the beautiful light from the sun setting I the east was spilling over everything.  I slipped my coat on,  and realized that when the storms left,  they took the Summer with them, and left us with Fall.  

Magical

          Here is a new edit of an old Photo.   I believe I like it!

Super hero

I set up a little photo booth at the Relay For Life.   It was meant to be a fundraiser for the American Cancer  Association.  Sadly, when the storm rolled over us,  it was "Gone With The Wind".    This was my experimental photo,  right after I set up.  One lady,  also made her donation and had her photo taken.   I guess I will never know if it would have been a success.   

Draper Wetlands

My neighbor, Nancy,  showed me this place...the Draper Wetlands, 5 minutes from my house.  It is a nice walk in there, and at the end, is this pond...it was Full of wild geese.  I was not expecting them to fly off the water.   There was a sky full of them,  seconds before this.   

Old to New

I have enjoyed playing with old photos lately and trying to add some interest or magic to them.  Rory is almost 4  years old here.  

Albion Basin

 

Ralph and I spent a couple of hours up in Albion Basin, a few days ago.  The flowers were so beautiful.  There was not much parking, so all but the first one here, were taken at the edge of the lower parking lot, when one spot finally became available.  The last one was driving down the canyon on the way home.  This first shot was up at the very top, right in the basin, but it was just a quick drive by because of no parking up there.   Needless to say, I am loving my new camera!
