A Terrific Start to 2023!

Well now that January 2023 is in the rear view mirror, I must say this year has started off with a big PHOTOGRAPHIC BANG!

There’s a Fire in the Valley

The fire in the valley can be found at one of my favorite parks, the Valley of Fire State Park near Overton, NV. That fire is a torment of beauty, nature, wildlife and history.

WINTER SNAPS

We are not even to the official first month of winter, and I feel it has been the best since I moved to Utah. Lots of snow and beautiful scenery. I am looking forward to the rest of the season. Wait, did I just say that?

Photo Moose-A-Palooza

As soon as I arrived at the trailhead to Lake Mary, I noticed a dark creature in the woods. I had to take a long look because I couldn't believe how close I was to a bull moose. A few other people noticed as well and we all began a photo-moose-a-palooza.

Meandering to the Meadow

I woke up without an alarm at 4:30a. I sprung out of bed and got to work. Now that I was going to be doing an 11-12 mile hike, I had to pack differently.

Life Returning After Range Fire

Regrowth is underway in Provo Canyon following last October's Range Fire that burned thousands and thousands of acres.

Patience on the Trail with Mother Nature

And while my initial reaction is frustration coupled with a little bit of anger, I need to look for ways to create connection and understanding. I can do this through compassion about their wanting to run on those wonderful trails and maybe use that as a starting point to help build awareness and help foster some patience.
