A Sunday Morning Escape

I woke up early this morning and had the brilliant idea to go take a drive into Provo Canyon and up the Alpine Loop past Sundance Resort. I wanted to do something to escape the unfortunate Coronavirus circumstances in which we find ourselves.

I needed a creative booster shot.

I had no idea as I was driving into the canyon, that I would be presented with so many cool things to photograph this early morning. I came across water, birds, mountains, ski slopes, waterfalls, hikers, a couple taking engagement photos and many, many amazing vistas.

I am going to share the pix I took in like groups. The first group is going to be mountain-scape photos.

The next group of pix are of a large rafter of turkeys. I found them crossing back and forth across the Alpine Loop up past Sundance. They did not mind me too much until I tried to get too close. Then they carefully went deep into the thicket.

This next group of photos are BY FAR the strangest and definitely most unanticipated of the morning.

As I was about done for the morning, I was driving down from squaw peak and saw this beautiful woman in a white translucent and sparkly dress in the middle of the road. I then saw a man in blue suit and a photographer. They were taking wedding pix. The photos do not show it, and I didn’t work the scene too hard as to not interfere, but the dress sparkled brightly as the bride moved back and forth.

As you can see, I had a very productive couple of hours this morning. I conclude the post with two more pix. The first is of a lone hike finishing her hike on the Timp trail. The second shows the Alpine Loop heading down from Sundance Resort.
